<P>Hi Andreas,
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>there is another thing I don`t like at that point:
|
|
<BR>
|
|
I often get mails form people who write ... does not work like expected or
|
|
<BR>
|
|
here or there happen something strange. After a long discussion what it could be
|
|
<BR>
|
|
I find out they used it as root and did not know what they do.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>It takes me a lot of time to discuss problems/errors of xsane and I hate to spend
|
|
<BR>
|
|
my time on unnecessary discussions. And if after all I tell the people please not
|
|
<BR>
|
|
to use xsane as root they simply ask WHY.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>So a warning does not help at that point. May be it helps if every 5 ms there pops up
|
|
<BR>
|
|
a window with the warning ;-). So my consequence could be to make sure
|
|
<BR>
|
|
xsane can not be run as root.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>May be this way: for xsane versions smaller than 1.0 this is included.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Bye
|
|
<BR>
|
|
