The encryption mechanism should be strengthened, although it's
not trivial.
+.Pp
+.I sup
+can delete files it should not with the delete option.
+This is because in the delete pass, it tries to delete all files
+in the old list that don't exist in the new list.
+This is a problem when a directory becomes a symlink to a hierarchy
+that contains the same names.
+Then sup will cross the symlink and start deleting files and directories
+from the destination.
+This is not easily fixed.
+Don't use sup with symlink/rsymlink and the delete
+option at the same time or *be careful*!
