If that <foo> program that you don't specify any further is not completely stupid, it should read the global config in /etc/ first (for any user that starts that program) and then overwrite any global settings with options set in a user config in his/her home directory. No need for any weird symlinking. Greetings, Frank -- Frank Blendinger | fb(at)intoxicatedmind.net | GPG: 0x0BF2FE7A Fingerprint: BB64 F2B8 DFD8 BF90 0F2E 892B 72CF 7A41 0BF2 FE7A
