If user 'pablo' installed photoshop, then john comes along and says "What, I can't access pablo's pictures?" Just because a user installed a package (which is not true at all of what really goes on... root installed the package, gksudo or whatever gave away root access to apt-get or dpkg or whatever), does not mean that package should run with the permissions of the user that i8nvoked root via sudo/gksudo/whatever. Doing so is a huge security hole. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71700 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
