#1 getPeersHome() not robust

[uiltje]

The call to Utils.getPeersHome() is not entirely robust.
In case of exceptions (i.e. no permission), the method should also return the empty string, as is intended, not throw an exception.

Please review and apply patch.

thanks for those patches, I think it's not meaningless to improve security in peers, but I think a complete review of peers source code would be necessary. I think about security restrictions on network api, etc. and there are probably many places were security flaws may hide...
Actually, it would be great to have a document which give configuration files examples for security.

Well, this particular one is more about consistent behaviour then security.
Clearly, the intent of the method is to return an empty string when it cannot find the property. Also returning exceptions just confuses things.
