My idea for that problem is: In Germany we usually have a class teacher you leads the class for years. So I would create a group for this teacher (teachers_name). Then I would create 10 user accounts: teachers_name_01, teachers_name_02, teachers_name_03,... This accounts you assign to the group teachers_name. Now you create a directory where the group teachers_name can read and write. In every home directory of the users you create a link called documents which shows to this directory. The advantages: - The children/classes are assigned to the teacher and not to the grade. So in summer you don't need to change names of user accounts. - Firefox and OpenOffice work on every account - If a child saves a document, it has easy access to the directory of the class. The next time the child opens the document it does not matter, if it is locked in as teachers_name_01 or teachers_name_02. The disadvantage: - Bookmarks, history, pick lists, high scores... are assigned to the account Kai -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
