-NLSR will have the following error if ``log-dir`` does not exist:

-By default ``/var/log/nlsr/`` is set to be NLSR's log directory and ``/var/lib/nlsr/`` is set to be
-NLSR's sequence file directory. They do not exist and will need to be created.
-Also, since these are system directories it will require the user to run NLSR as root.
-If one does not have permission to write to the specified directory,

+By default NLSR's sequence file directory is set to ``/var/lib/nlsr/``. User must create this
+directory before starting NLSR. Since this is a system directory, NLSR must either be executed
+as root, or NLSR can be run as user "nlsr" after configuring the filesystem to grant "nlsr"
+read and write permissions. If user lacks permissions, the following error will occur:
