Hi everyone,
<BR>
<P>I think we should stop the discussion at that point.
<BR>
<P>What I see is that there are more than one or two people
<BR>
running xsane or everything as root. That was one thing I wanted
<BR>
to find out and I also see they fight for the possibility to continue to do so.
<BR>
<P>It is a very strange because they are too lazy to do a &quot;useradd&quot; and some &quot;su -&quot;
<BR>
commands but they want to change the sourcecode of xsane when it will not run
<BR>
as root.
<BR>
<P><P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the future xsane will open a warning window when started as root, but it will work.
<BR>
<P><P>Who does not like that warning should really think if it is better to call a
<BR>
useradd command and some &quot;su -&quot; commands than to change the sourcecode
<BR>
of each version of xsane.
<BR>
<P>Bye
<BR>
Oliver
<BR>
<P><PRE>
