I'm just gonna give you some pointers. There are so many related issues and your post is incomplete for me to possibly address everything. You'll have to do a bit of reading yourself. You may need to look into nfs. See what gdm is. You probably want to replace (or modify/enhance) gdm. You should look into which authentication schemes it supports (eg. ldap, kerberos, pam) and which you can integrate with your mysql database (people usually use ldap instead of mysql). Read up about these things. SB -- Mailing list guidelines and other related articles: http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
