This is not correct. Gracious write operations to the home directory are considered a security problem, but file creation in other directories does not share this problem. Unless software automatically interprets certain files in the current directory, which is a very bad thing to do for that reason. It seems to me that the patch should be changed to prepend the home directory if the configured path is not absolute (that is, does not start with a slash). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
