Well, for example, you may want to have a registry that only has approved modules outside of the public NPM registry (see --registry config in NPM and associated auth methods). Also you may want to set user who is running the NPM script (--user). Finally, you may want to set various other config options (npm help config) for other more specialized needs.
Remember, NPM does allow shell access during installations, and you may not want to always use the defaults if you do not know the origin of the script. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
