Since when was "a little OT" a problem? It's when things get out of hand and the signal-to-noise ratio gets messed up, that there's a problem. >> but you should be logging in as a normal user and using sudo >> instead. > > There is more than one way to do it.

"logging in as a normal user and using sudo" wasn't meant in the "sudo is teh rulz" sense. It was meant to stand more generally for "don't 'casually' run destructive commands (think rm) and compile third-party software with more privileges than necessary" -- whether you do that by logging in as another user and use sudo, or whether you implement this differently, doesn't really matter. What matters is that you lower your privileges to the minimum required and which can be practically applied. If you don't want to keep OT, happy to take this off-list and have an insightful discussion -- assuming it doesn't boil down to mis-communication per above. :) - -- PGP: A0E4 B2D4 94E6 20EE 85BA E45B 63E4 2BD8 C58C 753A PGP: 2C23 EBFF DF1A 840D 2351 F5F5 F25B A03F 2152 36DA -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQI+BAEBCgAoBQJNpJ/SIRhodHRwOi8vamVyb21lYmF1bS5jb20vamVyb21lLmFz YwAKCRBj5CvYxYx1OgCQEADHOYzw62gtCy7MVXHJqUoiRRxQ2OvLRez5gj1e/+xs aIcXAComJDMIcwyxtuBE8LRk2FK8ErjzHEneU7fNYXD9ahs/HmqEWv2eR7uNMzN/ a4R705Vqq7RtLKfV03N0ertPBaKdhlClgiyjO1O82dwF06UQYkXXnwK7e+t0fUR1 D0pOpBVQgVrhomSRjIEvkZfD1MbUI5TqsKeBYk6ELoFfGhIboS9JS1AMa7pVazpJ 4PyTtoXgjdiVIAXaZ+V6pzrdh+NdQhsx3yp7mLg/c7JJPnyzC8pDM2c28k0F9355 LNHEPm8ekl9sD2yP/QctOIx0EjlNMI6g8fyC9/wvqP6ZEYXkB8BdrpRuGfEfL8Cc M0ngk1OfFjw72OIpBXMV2kNuCIhVCfVqgWiftzcMW/YgIIIfMJ8APYaQZKzyJbGq +zYfWZxajkb3Vl+2imvlJCEius0rLsrxMbcXtXp6W6f/UFL8V0pGdlddhnYNrgeF UeFbIh64TAho7UvalLZtL23AVZmFCqXfX/TeaBWxAK5U/Qf14sQkHGbYQt/1LWYR MOcHAzcPFWUgttNKhE2azYOARfUVOq/a0dOEcf0fcBOkwra/3w1GXWOTvd72UoNU MWpL/0K6iUz6twnRtAOK1RjNkPaGge3nl+Er6bGfWBh4R4aKU7Im43K5NTTVtCE+ xA== =r87p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
