Uh, why are they loading ~/.lynxrc in place of the default lynx.cfg file? An alternate config file makes sense, but not .lynxrc . The two files have different formats, and [somewhat] different purposes; one defines system-wide defaults, while the other contains user-defined variations on those defaults. Try opening both in a text editor; you'll notice lynx.cfg uses `THIS_SETTING:VALUE' and .lynxrc uses `this_setting=value' -- an equals sign, not a colon. A lot of items from one file don't match the equivalent item in the other, if there even is an equivalent [and in many cases, there isn't]. Not sure if character case makes a difference though. Also, the ~/.lynxrc file is overwritten whenever you save settings from the O)ptions screen. It won't preserve anything it can't parse from that file. > 16:09⎜<thkoehler:#grml> when I run "command lynx", it doesn't log to syslog > 16:09⎜<lynx:#grml> ah > 16:09⎜<lynx:#grml> so, the -cfg= seems to override /etc/**/lynx.cfg > 16:09⎜<thkoehler:#grml> yes > 16:10⎜<thkoehler:#grml> but the .lynxrc doesn't contain anything about syslog > logging > 16:10⎜<thkoehler:#grml> so the default seems to be "log to syslog" > 16:11⎜<thkoehler:#grml> adding "SYSLOG_REQUESTED_URLS:FALSE" to ~/.lynxrc > fixed it now > > Tom, you might want to change the default… > > bye, > //mirabilos Patrick. -- People that can't find something to live for always seem to find something to die for. The problem is, they usually want the rest of us to die for it too. _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
