Tobias, thank you for this hint.
Right. I thought about this.
True, but I am a little concerned about my security. I non-admin  
account with full sudo access is less save, right? So the alternative  
would be to also edit the time stamp and set it to 0. Or am being too  
paranoic?

Alex

Many thanks also to Peter and Alan. I´ll look into your suggestions  
more deeply as soon as the weekend approaches...

Pete, could you explain why your suggestion is not a "could" but a  
"have to"? What is happening with my current setup?
