Then the cause of your problems are clear: Some of mc's config
file(s) can only be properly read when you are root.
That means these config files have the wrong owner or the wrong permissions.
Solution: use "chown" and "chmod" as root to properly own your config files.
(chown -R armin folder_with_config_files and chmod -R 777
folder_with_config_files)
