/etc/slimserver is safer. Slimserver -should- run as its own user, not as root. (If it goes nuts and randomly decides to write garbage somewhere, the damage it can do is limited if it's not root.)
But only root can write to /etc normally. So the trick is for root to create /etc/slimserver and hand permissions off on that directory to the slimserver user. Then slimserver can write to /etc/slimserver/slimserver.pref, but not /etc/passwd. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33931 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
