Couldn't special permissions be necessary for installing programs? There could be a group with write permissions to a special executable directory, which could even be linked to a user's $HOME. That way it's kept secure, but usable for development if needed. Not all users in /home need the ability to install things. Sure, I suppose, it adds complexity, but it doesn't really require any new code. Anyways, it seems that this is a bad idea, and I should probably shut up. I'll stay out of the mailing lists. Joe
