I have a 3 machine setup but here, when users log out, the locks get removed. Unless the user doesn't log out properly (exit via CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE or system crash). In this case the user has to remove his lock. I wonder whether NFS sharing .gconf is really the solution that is adequate. I am not sure but I think I read somewhere that gconf can be used across a network. But I have no idea how exactly that works or how to set it up... Does anybody else know this? regards, Andreas
