Though the Guest account that does this is available on ubuntu but it is only accessible when some other user is logged in and can't be accessed from the main login screen. Not clear how usernames are generated. Does every user have a fixed ID allocated to him/her? Because if the same username is used by two or more people I don't see the difference between the user account and the guest account. In any case, have a look at the postexec parameter in smb.conf. That should allow you to run a script (which can clean out the directory, e.g.) whenever a user disconnects from a share.

Not sure what you mean by install it individually. You just install
apt-cacher-ng `apt-get install apt-cacher-ng` on a single machine, and
on each of the client machines you just create a file named 01proxy in
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d having
Acquire::http { Proxy http://xx.xx.xx.xx:3142;; };
where xx.xx.xx.xx is the IP of the machine on which apt-cacher-ng is
installed. That's all. You can also do the same on the apt-cacher-ng
machine also.
On each client machine then run `apt-get update` and you're done. It
doesn't matter it's 32bit or 64bit. Of course the firewall should be
opened on apt-cacher-ng machine for tcp port 3142.
Did you see any message mentioning 32bit and 64bit there?
Like in Windows, WSUS caches the packages for almost all Windows product
updates, doesn't matter if it's 32 or 64 bit, doesn't even matter if
updates are for XP or Vista or Win7.
So, all I'm asking if it's possible to achieve same kind of
functionality in Ubuntu too?
Yes, these caching servers do just that. Irrespective of the
architecture or even the distribution version (atleast Ubuntu/Debian
based).
Or do you want to have a complete ubuntu mirror on your machine? I don't
think that would be a good idea.
[1]http://www.ubuntugeek.com/apt-cacher-ng-http-download-proxy-for-software-packages.html
It's too complicated a setup in the link above. Also, the writer is
importing packages from /var/cache/apt/archives to prevent downloading
them again - this is just for the first time. You may not need it at all.

Hi, Need your help. Can we integrate windows application to linux.

Re: [ilugd] Free IPv6 Book - The Second Internet
Anyone interested in setting up IPv6 enabled LANs in their home, labs and looking for some helpful documentation (read as: newbie friendly), should check out the free IPv6 book 'The Second Internet'[1] authored by Lawrence E. Hughes, CTO and Chairman, Infoweapons. its wonderful that you informeed about this free book. I once asked Madam Radia Perlman will Ipv6 ever happen?. She responded that There will not be a conversion from IPv4 to IPv6 but there will be islands of IPv6 connected by tunnels of IPv4. This may be a perspective surely, but we cant overhear the people who 'created' Internet. This is same as the usage of DSL MODEMs over conventional telephony wire, as we cant replace every twisted pair with a fiber. MPLS VPNs, VLANs and NATing eliminated the need of IPv6 - this is all we heard and saw in last years. even after this, if IPv6 is being implemented as 'Freedom day from IPv4', people like me keep their fingers crossed. We still see a phased deployment for sure..

Re: [ilugd] Free IPv6 Book - The Second Internet
This is becoming off topic but could you elaborate on this please? The entire TCP/IP stack in 'serious' implementations is derived some way or the other from BSD and is FOSS since ages. Then how does it become off-topic? Label Switching was deviced as a means to speed up switching but is no more used for that purpose due to faster processors available. Do you mean to say that processors dont do switching? kindly look at details of Intel IXP series. It is now used only for application specific needs - VOIP for example, but would like to be enlightened. another is a hardware firewall ... a L4 switch ... Video on Demand ...and the list is endless.

I think you are talking about running the client side software on linux. You can easily do it with WINE.
