how did you get that idea? everything except your home directory is shared among all users of the local machine. to use share as you describe it would have to be empty. i think "The /usr/share hierarchy is for all read-only architecture independent data files. This hierarchy is intended to be shareable among all architecture platforms of a given OS" is clear enough. also "data that doesn't need to be modified" should make it obvious that it can't be for user data. (which i guess you mean with "shared among multiple users") greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix services: debugging, programming, training, linux sysadmin, web development -- pike programmer working in china community.gotpike.org foresight developer (open-steam|caudium).org foresightlinux.org unix sysadmin iaeste.at realss.com Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.at/~mbaehr/ is.schon.org _______________________________________________ fhs-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/fhs-discuss
