Question #78059 on slrn in ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/slrn/+question/78059
actionparsnip posted a new comment: it would make no sense to look in /etc/ as root, roots $HOME is /root not /etc This senario is also similar to conky where a sample .cokyrc file is hidden in the files of the package but many examples online. running something so trivial as a newsreader which doesnt need elevated priveledges is also not advised due to security, nor is it advisable to run with sudo. It is a web based app and keeping the number of web based apps running with elevated priveledges to a minimum is important for security. Something windows users ignore, then wonder why malicious java script / flash apps running in their browsers has so much system access -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
