Unfortunately, being able to relocate home directories is very typical on *nix systems from my experience. The best possible case would be to somehow search /etc/passwd for home directories and only allow it to run out of those on a per-user basis. This isn't necessarily relevant to Empathy or Telepathy, rather a Ubuntu/apparmor design issue.
After even further digging, it appears that instead of editing /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home as I did, the correct way of handling this is to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure apparmor" which will prompt you for additional home directory locations. Those get added to /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home.d/ubuntu (which says it's automatically generated and therefore shouldn't be edited directly). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994926 Title: empathy accounts not stored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/994926/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
