I set up a Centos 5/LTSP system for a company whose users pick up their mail from a single mailserver that's running the Squirrelmail webmail application. To (hopefully) make my life easier I created a template user and did all of the standard desktop configuration, then put that template user into /etc/skel and created the real users afterward, thereby having everyone inherit my standard template as I went. Fine and dandy, but shortly thereafter I had the users complain that their email was getting cross-linked. It turned out that because I had set up Firefox as part of the standard template, everyone was somehow getting the same cookie (or something -- I'm guessing the cookie but don't really know) from Squirrelmail. The effect was that if User A and User B were both reading their email at the same time, User B would suddenly find himself reading User A's mail and vice versa. To fix this problem I deleted everyone's ~/.mozilla directory and set up their Firefox from scratch, individually. I haven't heard any more complaints about this since, so I think that fixed it. It seems strange to me, though, as everyone has his own username and password on the Squirrelmail server so I never thought there would be a problem with collisions like that. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
