hi

I am installing flash on a fairly fresh installation of 8.0

FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 #0: Wed Mar 24 GENERIC i386.
linux_base-f10-10_2
linux-f10-flashplugin-10.0r42

Now about:plugins shows flash is installed and stays installed for the 
non-root user even if root subsequently runs nspluginwrapper again.
