I don't think anybody has the situation you're in. It's not recommended people do that since you never guarantee something doesn't get messed up. Have you considered using a VNC model instead? Give a generic environment and then let them vnc into their desktop? Alternatively, you could export the desktop on the main one (GNOME has a VNC server built in) and then connect to it from another machine.
This sounds like a better setup than what you're describing. We can take this off line as I don't think it directly contribute to developing GNOME as it's a topic of system administration. sri On Tue, 2006-08-08 at 09:32 -0400, Virden, Larry W. wrote: > I'm working in an sparc solaris environment.
