Description of problem: FHS states << Purpose /usr is the second major section of the filesystem. /usr is shareable, read-only data. That means that /usr should be shareable between various FHS-compliant hosts and must not be written to. Any information that is host-specific or varies with time is stored elsewhere. >> Note LSB is offline atm, so I can't check whether it's volated too. kdebase-3.5.4-24.el5 stores configuration files in /usr/share/config/ It became clear that these are not imutable when I used kcmshell kdm to change some options, and the following file was changed: 06:36 [summer@penguin ~]$ ls -l /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc -rw-r--r-- 1 root 1855 Nov 27 06:29 /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a KDE desktop 2. 3. Actual results: Configuration files to /etc Expected results: Configuration files to /usr/share Additional info:
