Hi,

The following may be of interest to Mandake experts:

Sun's StartOffice (SO) can be installed in a 'network' mode by root,
followed by 'workstation' installs by users. This saves mucho disk space.

Trouble was, on Mandrake 8.1, only 'root' could run SO after a workstation
install. Mortals got an odd error message about '.sversionrc' when trying to
run SO.

It turns out that SO tries to open the user's PARENT directory (~/..) as
part of the startup. In Mandrake, under high security setting, this fails.

Workaround: 'chmod o+r /home'

        enjoy,

                Rony
