That can work if you change the read-write access on roots bookmark file
to allow the user to have access. You probably need to chgrp to the
users group then. But it would probably be better to copy the bookmark
file from root to the user directory and then create the symbolic link.
When you get done make certain that both the owner and the group of the
file are the user. Then create the link:
ln -s /home/user/.netscape/bookmarks.html /root/.netscape/bookmarks.html
This way you do not have to mess with file access privileges to get it
to work. Root always has access without giving a user access to a file
inside /root.
