My client's home directory is mounted on NFS, so obviously firefox profile is also available on NFS. -- begin excerpt (from NFS FAQ "D2") -- If an open file is unlinked, an NFS client renames it to a special name that looks like ".nfsXXXXX". This "hides" the file while it remains in use. This is known as a "silly rename." -- end excerpt -- > > So, in this case, if you delete the .nfsxxx file, firefox runs normally? As a client I'm unable to delete that .nfsxxx file, I've to logon to server and then delete that file. So, it requires administrator to be always present. I think I should create a script for client to manually clean on server by sshing into the server with their account, and deleting that file. But is there any other solution for such problem. > > - Sandip > Thanks, Ashish Shukla -- आशीष शुक्ला alias "Wah Java !!" http://wahjava.wordpress.com/ http://wahjava.googlepages.com/ All that looks C00L is not necessarily validable. -- Ashish Shukla "Wah Java !!" _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
