<P>

<EM>>A thought on the "xsane as root" business: If you are going to try and
|
||
</EM><BR>
|
||
<EM>>restrict people's use of "root" for xsane because it is too dangerous,
|
||
</EM><BR>
|
||
<EM>>then don't you think you should try to convince everyone who writes
|
||
</EM><BR>
|
||
<EM>>software for Linux to follow the same philosophy
|
||
</EM><BR>
|
||
<P>I don<6F>t talk about the other programs/authors. I am the author of a program
|
||
<BR>
|
||
from
|
||
<BR>
|
||
which I know it should not be run as root.
|
||
<BR>
|
||
<P>The second thing is that I get a lot of questions from people who have
|
||
<BR>
|
||
problems because they
|
||
<BR>
|
||
run xsane as root. And I have better things to do than to read/answer such
|
||
<BR>
|
||
unnecessary questions.
|
||
<BR>
|
||
<P><EM>> I
|
||
</EM><BR>
|
||
<EM>>am currently doing EVERYTHING on my system as root. This is for the
|
||
</EM><BR>
|
||
<EM>>simple reason that I am new to Linux and have some odd hardware in my
|
||
</EM><BR>
|
||
<EM>>system
|
||
</EM><BR>
|
||
<P>That is no reason to run everything always as root.
|
||
<BR>
|
||
create a user (normally one command, may be useradd or adduser on your
|
||
<BR>
|
||
system)
|
||
<BR>
|
||
and if something does not work do a "su -" command and test if it works as
|
||
<BR>
|
||
root.
|
||
<BR>
|
||
For everything you already tested and you know it works as non-privilleged
|
||
<BR>
|
||
user
|
||
<BR>
|
||
there is no reason for you to run it as root.
|
||
<BR>
|
||
<P>Bye the way: you can do all tests with scanimage. If scanimage works as
|
||
<BR>
|
||
normal user
|
||
<BR>
|
||
there are no permission problems so if xsane does not work as normal user
|
||
<BR>
|
||
there must be
|
||
<BR>
|
||
another problem.
|
||
<BR>
|
||
<P>Bye
|
||
<BR>
|
||
