Could the changelog be more precise than ? So you can figure out what
might goes wrong after you install it.
Looking back in the changelog of msec I see:
* Sun Jan 20 2002 Frederic Lepied <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0.17-13mdk
- /home is 711 in level 3.
but no mention of /home/* (note the star) being set to 711.
By the way, could I have some more detail about this entry in the
changelog:
* Tue Feb 05 2002 Frederic Lepied <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0.18-4mdk
- correct gdm.conf modifications
Could this one be the origin of my gdm.conf continously being reset to
"Browser=true" ?
Cheers,
Odie
