Hi,
in the ~user/data/ menu, these dirs are set a+w, which is to be avoided:
* kml/
* raster/
* spatialite/
* udig-data/
besides being a security risk, it also means that the files will be held
in RAM(?), which is bad.
if you need to keep a file writable, add it to the "users" group.
e.g.:
{{{
chown -R root.users pathname/
chmod -R g+w pathname/
adduser user users
}}}
as GID survives the ISO building process while UID does not.
