Re: kde: kio accessing files in /etc

2006-05-08 Thread D. E. Evans
giving you the benefit of the doubt. Now that you know what kio is for, does it start to make sense why it would access files in /etc that pertain to file sharing? It is interesting to see the leaps in your logic. I do not run samba. It actually got installed by my mistake and

You just don't get it, do you? It doesn't matter if you're running Samba or not. Kio will attempt to access those files which it is Correct me if I'm being ignorant, but I don't remember seeing this message from 3.8 or 3.9 KDE binaries that I have used (from the CDs). Is it possible

Which window manager(s) do you recommend? I'll try it(them). See URL:http://www.xwinman.org. Keep in mind the applications you will be running, and whether they need ICCCM or NetWM (EWMH) hints, or other dependencies for certain functions the ports system may not automatically provide.

The question is, if I am not doing anything with those files, then why is kio accessing them? Why are you repeating your question when you've already been answered? It would be more beneficial for you and us to send patches, after consulting with the ports mailing list, that better adapt

Maybe my reply didn't make it: use ports' mail/nail package. It did. Nail is one option, but seems a bit much for the want of a single option, when the program that ships with OpenBSD will already do. It will be easier (and perhaps a learning experience) to submit a patch to the current

The state of the art of computer science has gone (steadily?) downhill for the last 30 (maybe 40) years. The computers are bigger and faster, but the knowedge of what to do with them has decayed. That time would it put it at about 1974, when the altair came out, and home users got to
