RE: [Licq-main] licq trouble with mandrake 8.2

[Steve W. <ste...@pa...>]

I've seen that behavior for ages now.
I did ask on the list about it and the best
I could figure out is that there is some
kind of demon that keeps changing it
when you are not looking.

When I asked about it before, there was absolutely
no rational explanation. I even tried taking the write
priviledge off of the file. Didn't work.

What I didn't bother trying (because licq stopped
working under the 2k protocol at about that time)
was to make the file owned by someone else, readable 
by me but not writable by me...

Give it a go!
:)
