This works by default with multiple accounts. Fast switching has nothing to do with it. You don't need to take any action to prevent user's home directories from access (even as an admin user). The only available directories to other users are Public (which is read-only, except for the drop box, which is write-only...you can put files in, but you cannot get in there to see what's there) and Sites (also read-only, which is where user-level websites are saved. Sites that are http://computer.domain.com/~user/ ) There's no need whatsoever for separate partitions. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
