Thanks Ralf. This didn't work on Dell Ubuntu, where ssh seems to be broken. However, I put gOS on one and it works! (btw I'm getting tired of customised Linux from hardware manufacturers - they are doing a great service to microsoft) However, I can't put it into fstab because HOSTuser (see above) will vary with each child that uses the laptop. So what I did was wrote a little script that prompts for the username first then mounts the corresponding home from tjener. It works OK apart from Gnome asking whether to run, display, etc. when the shortcut is clicked. thanks again nigel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
