>So which answer was the right one? ;)
Actually, neither of those is precisely what I had in mind, but both of
those situations obviously come up in practice. I'm less worried about
security (probably less than I should be!).
I'm just keen to know what's going on when I install programs, run
configuration tools etc. I hate GUIs that hide the details from me. I
much prefer to know what they did, so I can potentially avoid using the GUI
and script stuff later on.
Thanks for the information on directory notification and the SGI
tool. I'll look into both of them. I believe there's a talk on the 2.4
notification stuff at the conference in a couple of weeks. I'll be there,
so hopefully I'll be able to clean up any issues I still have by then.
Cheers,
Harry O.
