The list is stored within gconf under /etc/gconf, but you should not edit this by hand, use ether gconf-editor or gconftool-2 to make modifications to gconf keys. The fact that restrict_application_launching is not set, means the allowed_applications key is never looked at, so not an issue for you. >> 2.

Good to found a solution, even in a round about manner :) cheers Matt _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
