Hello everyone,
I am trying to implement some kind of a local profile. Normally, when
someone logs in, his home is mounted (from a cluster) and used. Thats
the default behaviour in our enviroment.
Now we want to use a second approach: When someone logs in, his profile
(which should only consist of settings) will be rsynced to the local
drive and used.
Therefore I'm doing the sync and set the $HOME variable to the local
home and then run something like gnome-session, startkde, startfluxbox etc.
This works great with e.g. KDE, but gnome still uses the network home
and I don't know why. What does gnome use to determine what directory to
use as the home directory?
When using gnome with the local profile most programs (firefox,
thunderbird, opera,...) does use $HOME and use the right home directory,
but gnome itself seems to ignore $HOME :(
Anyone out there does know what extra switch I have to use to solve that
problem?
