No. gnome-user-share does not need root permissions.

Well that’s usually the case when you don’t have root permissions.

That’s precisely why gnome-user-share was written. Thanks for making my

Now if you could give a hand in maintaining important packages, like
apache2 and its 90 open bugs, it would help more than packaging your pet
web server which will be of use for at best 2 users.
Maybe we could increase the distribution quality by requiring anyone
making an ITP to be part of a core package’s maintenance team.
