[K12OSN] 6 local user accounts on server using NIS for 800 others?

[Jim Christiansen]

Hello Scott,

I'm having such an overwhelming time with this I cann't keep up!  So you're 
saying to put the  real .cxoffice into /var/local/photoshop/scott??  Or the 
simlink is in /var/local/photoshop/scott?

I have tried export CX_BOTTLE_DIR=/tmp/${USER} and put in in /etc/bashrc as 
the Crossover people suggested but even with this the Photoshop app won't 
close.

Thanks,  Jim

Jim -

What about making a local folder for each user say 
/var/local/photoshop/scott

In each person's home directory there is a symbolic link for .cxoffice to 
/var/local/photoshop/scott

The directory is local, it will only affect the one server that has 
Photoshop installed.


Just another option.
