The username is usually used to set the filepath, so each home would be a different directory. So there shouldn't be a conflict of configuration files, each OS would use its own homespace and own configuration files. If they get the same userid, he'll be able to easily read files he's saved in the other directories. To share a homespace between different releases can be a problem, and he easiest solution can be to make sure that they each have different homespaces, but have link to a (different) common space for the user to store their own files in. That keeps configuration files separate, and simple access to your files. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
