Hello!I'm interested in your `common desktop icons' script. It sounds like this is done as a shell task or in the gnome startup tasks?(There's been no big changes in our Sun Ray schema here; I'm waiting on Solaris 10 support with eagerness and axiety.)Thanks, Walter Moore, Eckerd College Jeff Wisman wrote:I've written some scripts for population of home directories. I think its the only real, good option here. Especially since you may want to change their contents down the road. With a versioning system, this is easily possible.So in our template home directory, there is a file with a version number in it. When a user logs in, the startup scripts check that his home directory version is up to date. If not, then it does the required task. No version means copy everything in from the template. An older version means run whatever script needed (usually copying in a file, removing a file, or something simple like that). This way, all users stay up to date. Additionally, since its not running on everyone's home directories at once, the server doesn't incur any huge load.We are using Gnome 2.8 on Solaris 9, so our scripts will look different than yours would. But if you'd like a copy anyway, contact me off list.Jeff Wisman California State University, East Bay [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:I'm trying to get all my Sun Ray users to have the same icons on their desktop. We are currently using Solaris 9 with the Gnome 2 desktop and are putting icons on the desktop for Firefox, Thunderbird, Star Office, etc. (I know...JDS would get around my problem but that isn't an option in this case). How do I get all my users to start with the same icons? Has anyone come across this before? I can get it to work for new users by putting the .gnome-desktop and .gnome directories in the /etc/skel directory but what about my existing NIS users that will be using the Sun Rays?Thanks, Jeff _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users_______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
