Making a new user requires root. That means you have to be root to install it. I hate program that you have to be root to install. I have many machines on which I would like to run software but I can't install it because it requires root access. Does it really *need* root access? No, it does not access hardware devices, modify /etc/passwd, listen on ports <1024. It requires root simply because of poor design. _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
