Bug 32320 – app-misc/ldapbrowser can't be used as non root

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexander Gretencord 2003-10-30 03:37:53 UTC]

app-misc/ldapbrowser can't be used as non root user because unfortunately it 
tries to write config files in the directory it is started in, which would be 
/opt/ldapbrwoser-282_beta2/ with the current start script. 
 
The start script has another problem too, it changes directory to /opt/ldap* 
so if I install something in /opt/ldapa/ it would try to cd there and not 
start at all. 
 
Use the attached patch to lbe.sh instead of the one in portage now to make it 
work as user too. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start ldapbrowser as non root user and try to change something (make a new 
connection etc)

thx for pointing this out, fixed in -r1 :)

Perhaps someone could remove it from ~arch and put it in arch please? It has  
sat in ~arch for quite some time now and it is a simple fix which does not  
break anything but instead fix a very simple bug. Thx.

Removed from portage due to licensing issues. 

WONTFIX.
