Sorry, what is "LSB" please??
I had to work it out, too.
Doesn't that standardization open up some security issues in the event a script kiddy finds a way into a particular distro.
There is only a fine difference between this: "<install script kiddy crap> <LSB standard pathname>" and this: "for a in <list of distro-dependent pathnames>; do test -d $a && <install script kiddy crap> $a; done" Personally, the standard pathname approach is greatly preferable, as it would save us from having to address the issues of confusion that otherwise are certain to arise (as this thread has already shown, eg. with the browser plugin location thing).
