hmm, if this is repeatable, it should probably be sent to the maintaner as a bug. I have been running mozilla and netscape for some time now without this behaviour. It seems strange that running mozilla as a user could modify a file under the /etc tree though. do you have some weird permissions going on? because that shouldn't be possible. -Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
