Sounds a good case for logging in using a barcode scanner against the student's library card.

But I was wondering if Gnome > and other apps will let me live with a shared home. Guess they won't. That is another simple option: One user per machine, but not one user for all machines. It avoids two terminals trying to access the same personal files at the same time, but doesn't get around the problem of one user changing settings for the next user. But there are probably some "internet cafe" options for wiping out all customisations and starting a new, each logout and login cycle. > So any ways of making GDM log in different users on different > terminals, other than dynamically generating gdm.conf on system > startup for each terminal? Possibly some integration between DHCP issued hostnames and usernames derived from hostnames, for someone adventurous with scripting... But if you just have four terminals, you may as well take the simple way out and have user1, user2, user3 & user4 preconfigured as the autologon users for each terminal. Diskless terminals can have different files given to them as they bootup, they could share almost everything (hardware configuration, etc.,) except for the files to do with auto-logon. Probably you want to look into some internet cafe solutions, there might be something that suits you. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Connect via SSH to the machine the drive is on, and operate on it (almost) directly. Don't try and share out stuff as root, then try and use them as root on a remote mount (it opens you up to a lot of problems, not to mention that you're fighting against some common setup options that don't allow it). > 2) Is adding umask 000 in /etc/fstab the only way to open ntfs access > for remote XP machine, I can't find the way in shell environment to do > that yet. You would need to mount something in a particular way to enable more access (though be warned, that's a very bad idea). Once mounted, you wouldn't be able to change permissions to be more permissible than the mount settings. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

I think you see 800MHz because the cpuspeed daemon is active and if the laptop is idle it dynamically throttles down the cpu to save the battery. Once you start something big like OpenOffice.org Writer than you can see that it will jump up to 2GHz. There is a nice little gnome app that sits in the taskbar and shows you at which speed the cpu runs. OT: I have the Ferrari 4000.
