OK - but too late not to remove it ;-). If you get a chance, might be worth updating the Installation.txt, although I'm probably the only person who's ever read it anyway ...
So when /etc/slimserver.conf is created at install (by root), presumably it needs 666 permissions so that any slimserver user can update it? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dan Sully Sent: 18 March 2005 16:50 To: Slim Devices Discussion Subject: [slim] Re: slimserver.conf * Patrick Dixon shaped the electrons to say... >Not sure if this is a bug, but I just thought I'd point it out: > >The Installation.txt says that if /etc/slimserver.conf is deleted the >software will reset to default values.

Yes - but the user running SlimServer may not have permissions to do so. If SlimServer was installed via RPM (as root), then it can create the initial /etc/slimserver.conf file. Instead of removing that to clear out your config, try this instead: cp /dev/null /etc/slimserver.conf Which zeros out the file. -D -- <nil> It sucks to discover that you are the foremost authority on some set of things when you've got a problem. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
