Put a file in /etc/profile.d both for csh and sh (bash) that checks for that file and otherwise does the symlink. See the various scripts in /etc/profile.d for examples. These scripts are run when you log in. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

I think this idea sounds good. But this is my first time using profile.d. Should i create an new File called "boinc.sh" or must i fix the present sh.utf8 file?

Create a new file named boinc.sh.

If i know it right, i must create an new file. But what should i wrtie into it?

Something like ---------------------------->8 cut 8<----------------------------------- #!/bin/sh if ! test -f ~/gui_rpc_auth.cfg then ln -s /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg . fi ---------------------------->8 cut 8<----------------------------------- In your %install section something like: install -m755 %{S:1} %{buildroot}/etc/profile.d And in your %files section: /etc/profile.d/%{name}.sh Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

I'm afraid it's wrong to check and/or edit users homes one by one while the package is installed: * Some users might be added after that * Sometimes users are not a local ones and you can't even access their home directories (NFS, ...) The only correct way is to check and modify the users home on users side (when starting an application or so). Bye Lukas

Hello Mates,

i woul'd like to make "ln-s /path/file" to every Users/home. Has anyone an Idea?

No !.. that's nonsense, it is responsability of the application to do this the right way. not of the rpm package.

And it would not really work with NFS/NIS homes. It could even get considered as an attack, if a single workstation tries this on the server. Never ever change something directly in home directories. Desktops like KDE have own mechanisms to adapt settings on login time, if needed. But a link would be just bloat IMHO. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
