- I have noticed a 'problem' that I experience while running Executor 1.99p
- under my Linux OS, which is that the floppy and CD-ROM seeks on startup do
- not occur if I run Executor under my 'scott' user account. The only times
- when the floppy and CDROM are mounted properly is when I run Executor under
- the 'root' account. Is this more a problem of setting file permissions
- properly under Linux than an issue with Executor itself? Anybody have a
- suggested fix for me? I'd prefer to not have to always run Executor under a
- 'root' login as that could be rather dangerous to my Filesystem.
-
- On a slightly related note, when I move Macintosh files with spaces in the
- filenames out onto Executor, or even DOS partitions that I have mounted
- under Linux, Executor doesn't remap or replace the spaces in the filenames
- with anything. I have workarounds under both operating systems to rename
- the files/directories (namely 'midnight commander' under Linux and Norton
- Utilities under DOS), but it seems like the kind of thing that could freak
- out the typical user who wouldn't be able to do a thing at all with the
- file/directory names with spaces in them, even delete them. Is there a
- mechanism that I don't have turned on to prevent these writes or to remap
- the names by filling the spaces with a 'safe' character?
