Hum yes I was afraid of it. No settings. But it doesn't work (lost notes) so I have to
use timidity which is reasonably good for what I need. I miss the ability to load fonts on
the fly and assign instruments. I will use swami to build my own soundfont.
Anyway, as I'm quite dumb about it, can you enlighten me about what it means
'setuid root'?
How exactly do I setuid root a prog (I have read about the 's' bit) ?
Can I setuid any program (er... is it dangerous) ?
Does any program 'setuid root' really run with roots provileges ?
Thanks in advance.
