The point is, to the degree you want the users to have identical settings, you don't, for big things like kde and gnome. They (luckily) don't have the username embeded in them. Apparently my .phoenix and .openoffice profiles contain hard-coded paths, but I don't back those up. For "bad" apps like that, look for app-specific tools to copy profiles, or write scripts and hope you don't botch it. You are right, I only reuse the files as me, so I'm not doing something as hard as you're doing. But people set up Lab environments all the time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
