You can have: a) an account per terminal Each terminal automatically logs in with a specific account, eg terminal1 That terminal will always have the same files, which ever person uses it b) an account per person Each person has their own account, eg person1, guest2 That person will always have their own files, which ever terminal is used. c) only one account for everything Lots of things break and generally doesn't work. :) > 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. This is only possible using per person accounts. You need to solve your administrative problem. ;) -- Phil Davey Computer Officer Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
