Hi,

I've encountered a problem when making a user's OpenOffice directory read-only.
Though I realize this list has little to do with support, I thought
I'd chance it, as no one in [email protected] could help much (see
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=121481 for
that discussion). If anyone knows of a better forum in which to post
it, please tell me.

Thanks,
Alon

Subject: Read-only access to a user's OpenOffice directory
To: [email protected]
Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]



System: Linux (LFS)
OOo version: 2.0.0rc3

I wish to prevent users from altering their OOo directories
(~/.openoffice.org2) and from saving files in them.
To that end, I supply a user with a ready-made '~/.openoffice.org2',
and disallow any write-access to it and its contents.

A problem occures when I edit a file (.odt, .ods), save it, and then
exit OOo: After exiting I get the following pop-up dialog:
'Error saving the document:
user-home-dir/.openoffice.org2/user/basic/script.xlc/
General Error.
Genereal input/output error.'
When I press 'OK', it repeats, only with 'dialog.xlc' instead of 'script.xlc'.

Apparently, OOo tries to replace those two files with something of
its own making, so placing ready-made files is not an option.

Does anyone know of a way to go around this, either by means of
configuring the already-installed OOo, or by means of altering the
source-code/installation process?

Cheers,
  Alon
