Hi, Why is running Netscape as root considered to be a security problem? I just tried installing vmware on my system and it needs root to install, and it searched for Netscape. The installer, fortunately, was an intelligent one and proceeded with the install after I cancelled its search for Netscape (it said the install help wouldnt be available without Netscape).
If it is something really stupid to run Netscape as root, I'd like to point out to VMWare that their requirement to have Netscape for the install is bad. Thanks in advance for any enlightenment on this matter, Jor-el
