Oh good! :)
I had not thought of that since I'd have expected a clear permissions
error to have occurred. I presume one did not? (I do not recall having
happened to have tried doing that before).
While all other commands require root, `lb config` does not and it is
not typical to run it as root, but perfectly possible/valid to do so;
it seems you must have done so originally.
I've added it to my to-do list to check out and see if things could be
improved in any way (see if a permissions error or similar can be
output if not already; maybe issuing a warning if run as root to
suggest that a future problem like this could be encountered). If so
I'll craft such changes and submit for consideration.
Lyndon.
