Yes, that's a potential issue. The flip side of that issue is that bits buried in some user's home directory will be unknown to the system administrator, and thus won't be patched or handled during upgrade. Even if the check for UID 0 is removed, we currently have no higher- level design that accounts for the issues that arise with arbitrary software installation. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
