This path doesn't show up in any of the emacs startup scripts (~/.emacs, /etc/emacs*/*, where else should I look?) strings /usr/bin/emacs shows: [EMAIL PROTECTED] strings /usr/bin/emacs | grep rlb /home/rlb/deb/emacs/22/sid/lisp /home/rlb/deb/emacs/22/sid/debian/build-x/src/ /home/rlb/deb/emacs/22/sid/debian/build-x/src/ /home/rlb/deb/emacs/22/sid/debian/build-x/lib-src /home/rlb/bin /home/rlb/deb/emacs/22/sid/debian/build-x/lib-src/ ... and a lot more. I noticed this when my automounter started misbehaving and emacs hung while starting up. Emacs probably shouldn't be accessing this directory without being told to. If I created a /home/rlb and filled it with all kinds of interesting elisp, would that be a bit of a security problem? thank you for your time! -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-06058-ga01e035 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages emacs22 depends on: ii emacs22-bin-common 22.2+2-2 The GNU Emacs editor's shared, arc ii libasound2 1.0.16-2 ALSA library ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgif4 4.1.6-4 library for GIF images (library) ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libncurses5 5.6+20080419-2 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpng12-0 1.2.27-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libtiff4 3.8.2-8 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxmu6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.7-1 X11 pixmap library ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xaw3dg 1.5+E-15 Xaw3d widget set ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime emacs22 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
