10.3: Make Palm HotSync work in Panther
Authored by: Shawn Parr on Nov 02, '03 11:52:18PM

Well, first off, there have been some reports of people not needing to log in as root, as Rob mentioned in his comment.

That being said, the most damage that can be done is to any files the Palm Desktop installer would want to modify. Theoretically it should only be adding/overwriting its own files.

In practice no one has complained about this hosing their systems. Although one user has commented that after logging in as root, upon logging out the root user was automatically disabled.

And yes, I am the same Shawn Parr that appears often on the Brighthand forums. :)
