i can't think of any other place where i could put such a
configuration file, so povray would read it.  AFAIK povray
reads both /usr/local/etc/povray.conf and ~/.povray.conf, and
uses the settings that are more strict (at least this is
what the docs say - see below).

the docs are not really helpful, however, as they say
that the feature is not implemented at the moment:

----
1.4  I/O Restrictions
NOTE: I/O Restrictions are not yet available under POV-Ray for Unix 3.5, 
but will be available in a future minor release. The following 
documentation describes planned functionality.
----

anyway... i have now copied the original config content from
my first post in this thread back into vi, saved it, and copied
it to ~/.povray.conf again. - miraculously, it works now, so i
won't touch it again -- ever! ;)


thanks,

g.
