Bob,

Yeah, I read the how-to and manual.  It's still foreign to me.  It would help 
if I knew at what point things are executed.  I thought I had it working when I 
had it pointed to user.  It seemed silly to me that it would not switch the 
user until they had typed in their login name. I think Token switching is where 
I really want to be.  I just don't see how the amgh script ties it all in.  If 
I wanted to write my own script what do I return so that it can switch users to 
a particular FOG based on token install ?

In my configuration I currently have 3 (and might eventually have 4) types of 
machine groups (But only 1 FOG).  In the current SR3.1 install we are switching 
users to their correct group using a custom Xsetup and utswitch.  We switch 
users around because the machine groups have a particular use such as regular 
users, special users, qa, linux.

In the new 4.2 install I'd like to use amgh and I'm not sure if I want 1 big 
failover group like I currently have or 4 smaller groups.  I like having 1 big 
FOG since it makes token maintenance a lot easier.  However, I might be mixing 
in some non-sparc machines and I don't think I can have a mix in the same FOG.

I appreciate the response.

Regards,

Scott
