Hi Sjors, thanks for the swift reply.

I'd like the file to be user independent, so it should always read/write to
the same file whoever logs in (it actually collects stats of usage). Is
there a better place to store the file? (has to be outside of /users) How
can I overcome the privileges issue?

Cheers,

Memo.
