(Furthering the FUD about the GPL being "viral" could cause a lot of people to buy into a lot of connotations that are very unfair. Might I suggest the term "copyleft" instead? I'll take counter arguments offlist.) -- Daniel Mikkelsen Copyleft Software AS -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Cygwin homedirs and roaming profiles.
Hi. I've been unable to find information on this in the documentation, the FAQs and on the net: I have a situation where I want to use Cygwin in a multiuser environment where users hop from one computer to the next, with roaming profiles (stored on a Samba server). I have two problems: 1) It appears domain users are stored in the local passwd file in a "domain\user" format on each workstation. But each user has to run Cygwin once to have this (and the homedir) set up. Are there neat ways to do all this automaticly and correctly in my situation? 2) It looks like I can't have my users' homedirs on the Samba server also be the Cygwin homedir for that user - if I want ssh to work. Ssh complains about ownership of the ~/.ssh file. Is there a way to fix this short of patching ssh? Just looking for input or pointers - I'll do the work myself. :) -- Daniel -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
