macromedia players flash : FlashPlayerTrust directory location on Linux

Hello all,

I just looked into 'White paper: Adobe Flash Player 9 Security'
The white paper does not contain any info on file locations on Linux
especially the FlashPlayerTrust directories.
Any help, info or pointer?

Regards,
Matthias Kievernagel

I had the same problem. I've been working with tech support on this issue,
they weren't able to help me much, but after some tinkering and lots of trial
and error I finally found it....

For individual users:

/home/<user>/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#Security/FlashPlayerTrust/<filename>.cfg
For all users:
/etc/adobe/FlashPlayerTrust/<filename>.cfg

The config file needs only have one line, the name of your directory you want
trusted (ie. "/usr/<companyName>/flash"). The documenation for Windows and Mac
suggest that this file must be named with a ".cfg" suffix but it seems to
accept any file name. Still I would use the suffix just to be safe.

Good luck,
Chad Packer
