Wait, back up a second. Well, two seconds. First of all, off-topic on the
devel list -- this should be moved to the regular fedora list. (Please
direct replies there.) Second, why do you wnt to do this as the root user
directly? There's probably a better way to accomplish what you want to do in
the first place.

Sorry about that, my bad

There's no massive security risk going on, its all private use and nothing critical I managed to ssh into the server as my normal user with out asking me for a password, which I thought was pretty nifty, so I thought i could do the same as root is all.

oh well, I'll just su when i get in as normal user, not to worry

thanks anyway, and sorry for the noise on your devel list
