Then, I think it's good to illustrate my setup. I am currently having 4 thin-clients. PI 166mhz. EDO 32mb RAM. I have groups of people coming in to use them like "guests" and therefore, giving them usernames are not administratively possible. However, using different accounts i.e. guest1, guest2, guest3, will have problems as they use different home directories and file permissions would be a mess. I would like a person (guest) who last used terminal 1, and downloaded a document like a picture, can still access those files on terminal 4 given the limitation/situation above. I have thought about sharing Home directories but Mozilla etc will bark. Then, I thought of having a shared Documents folder. How shall I configure the folder and user (guest[1-3]) (suid,guid,umask,etc) such that creating, modifying, deleting files in that Documents folder will not produce any problems and, transparent to the user and, efficient (low amounts of maintenance of that folder would be needed). It's a little like windows...to a certain extent :s. Any ideas? Thanks.
