Subject: Common GUI Config for All Users
Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2001 15:13:04 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010428211327Z135639-409+788@vger.kernel.org> (raw)
Looking for the best way to give all users a common desktop, which comes from one source (for easy administration).
Found copying my /root/.gnome & .sawfish directories to a user home breaks the user's GUI, implying a symlink wouldn't work. I am told .gnome & .sawfish can be copied to /etc/skel to give common look for new users, but need ongoing single-source control. Besides, I tried copying root's config files to skel & it broke user GUIs.
Security is also a concern, so couldn't symlink into root anyway.
Recommendations welcomed, please.
