Suggestions to workaround: 1. Start the app with mlnet 2. Make the conf.d file with perms -rw-r----- 1 p2p p2p and create the p2p group 3. Remove the 3rd line from /usr/bin/mldonkey (not sure what the line is needed for) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login as normal user 2. type mldonkey in console Actual Results: $ mldonkey /usr/bin/mldonkey: line 3: /etc/conf.d/mldonkey: Permission denied Expected Results: $ mldonkey 2007/05/17 15:25:33 [cO] Starting MLDonkey 2.8.5 ... 2007/05/17 15:25:33 [cO] Language PT, locale UTF-8, ulimit for open files 1024 2007/05/17 15:25:33 [cO] MLDonkey is working in /home/user/.mldonkey 2007/05/17 15:25:33 [cO] creating new MLDonkey base directory in /home/user/.mldonkey 2007/05/17 15:25:33 [cO] loaded language resource file (...)

Removed, thanks.
