Subject: M11 linux creates extra directory Date: Fri, 03 Jul 1998 14:10:24 -0700 From: "Kenneth J. Dowling" <kdowling@concentric.net> Organization: Toucan Systems, Inc. Newsgroups: netscape.champions.beta linux M11 4.5-98177 on linux 2.0.34 (Redhat 5.0) A directory with the name of your login is created in the home directory, every time Communicator is started. Example: If my login is 'kdowling' and my home directory is '/home/kdowling', then Communicator will create an empty '/home/kdowling/kdowling' directory every time it is launched. -- Ken Dowling

Setting Component to install/config. Setting QA Assigned To to Eli (lemme know if I can help). Eli, this is a Linux bug. If you'd like, I can try it.

Hi, guys --- IMHO this is not an installation problem if it happens everytime the browser is launched. ;) This is probably a general UNIX problem (I saw it on sol251), and I'm guessing Chris has heard about it to death by now, but am reassigning to him just in case. Thanks!

Changing TFV to 5.0.

Can one of the Lisas confirm or deny that this happens on 4.5? The bug was reported against 4.5, so it makes me a little nervous to see it change to TFV 5.0.

I shall ask my favourite tester to try this out. Eli...?

I think you meant to assign this to paulmac. Reassigning. ;) <just kidding. Will check later today.>

DP, does this apply in the new world?

Not valid in the new world.

Verifying no longer valid in 5.0-land. Reassigning to paulmac, who appears to have the profile manager back in his capable and overworked hands. ;)
