That's not the point. Assuming the same user database (LDAP, yp, whatever), *nothing* should stop you from logging in to the same home directory from multiple machines. Anything that does is a bug (and yes, there are a few still around in GNOME, which we are fixing). It's nothing to do with distros or operating systems or architectures being different. - Jeff -- Get Informed: SCO vs. IBM http://sco.iwethey.org/ "A narcissist - every inch the preening, overconfident, studiously effete, ever-so-slightly detached rock star." - Anon. description of Tony Blair -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
