Wait, back up a second. Well, two seconds. First of all, off-topic on the devel list -- this should be moved to the regular fedora list. (Please direct replies there.) Second, why do you wnt to do this as the root user directly? There's probably a better way to accomplish what you want to do in the first place. Sorry about that, my bad There's no massive security risk going on, its all private use and nothing critical I managed to ssh into the server as my normal user with out asking me for a password, which I thought was pretty nifty, so I thought i could do the same as root is all. oh well, I'll just su when i get in as normal user, not to worry thanks anyway, and sorry for the noise on your devel list Martin smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
