Hi.
I see your problem, I think. The right way of having the same users on
different machines is through yellow pages (...oops: NIS :) And using NFS to
share homes. You may build, as I do, the following:
/usr/local/beo
|-- home/
|-- libs/
|-- bin/
|-- <?>
in the server. Activate NFS and NIS services and on the clients you have to
simply import "server:/usr/local/beo" onto /usr/local/beo local to the client
:)
Obviously, the homes of beo-users should be pointed to /usr/local/beo/homes/<>
This should be ok, and let you resolv any problem you are having :) [I hope!]
About NIS: in another recent thread in this ML peoples talked about using NIS
(also for exporting /etc [but trust me, try it knowing what you are doing].
Read it :)
Hope that helps,
Bye,

Nice :)
If possible, I think he has half of a nickel for every time...
