Is it by design or it's an overlooked? if you see colinux to be a general application, you have something missed. if you familliar with linux, than see colinux as a bunch of kernel modules, which are configured through /etc. this part shouldn't be touched from a common user. to run console is just a common task,sure, that should work. as module runs in another context the networking should work. so let's move to windows. it's OS like Linux - has kernel, has priviliges. the situation is different, but not really different. you have to use admin rights to configure and start drivers(modules) and the user should be able to use the console or so. if you're a user which has some power user permissions it's not so better than using administration accout all the time. just my 2 euro-cents :-) |
