R devel - Jul 2008 - symbolic linking libs | thanks!

Several good suggestions were sent my way - much appreciated. In my
experience, any solution to a problem that gives a user write access to
anything other than their own /home directories is a disaster waiting to
happen (spoken as someone who has burned in past doing otherwise). So, I'll
pursue some approaches that don't reequire the /lib access option.

Just for the records - I suggested write access or even ownership to
/lib.../Blaster dir only, _Blaster only_ that is.

As for the disaster having a guru user is the largest disaster ;-)

Also think twice before giving read access to guru's home dir to
everybody and trice before giving guru control over common executables.

Good luck!
