Your program must ask for the root password whenever you want your program to do something using administrative privilege. But in most cases, you don't need that and your programs should work fine without permission denial problems. If you try to use your program to modify any file in Linux outside your home directory you should ask for the root password. > I'm a C++ programmer, but because of permission denials and other > such trifling problems as these, I cant get productive in Linux, > so plz help me out. > > > > Arun Sreelalan > [EMAIL PROTECTED] (linux related stuff) > [EMAIL PROTECTED] (everything else) > > -- > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body > "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line. > FAQ: http://www.ilug-cal.org/node.php?id=3 -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
