Very wacky. yes its rediculous, psm files being world writable is a huge security hole. debian has a hack to work around this though, see /usr/share/doc/mozilla/psm-helper/ its a fake library that traps the calls that fail when things are readonly, then you use a wrapper script to LD_PRELOAD that library. the docs are all there. really stupid though, mozilla only works with win9x. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
