Hey guys, I've got two Linux user accounts: foo and bar. AFAIK, both have identical .wine directories, that both point to the same fake dos drive. User 'foo' is able to run Quicken in wine, but user 'bar' is not. (I don't recall the exact error, but it was pretty non-descript.) Does Wine support this kind of thing? My ultimate goal is that, regardless of whether user 'foo' or user 'bar' is sitting at the computer, Wine treats them like the very same Windows user. Thanks, Christian

In particular do they have the same config and the same system.reg (maybe consider using a single file for system.reg, userdef.reg and config and using symlinks to point to them)> > Does Wine support this kind of thing?

Who owns the files on the dosdrive? foo? bar? Some group that foo and bar belong to? Are group and ownder permissions identical? What about locking? Are you trying to allow foo and bar to run Quicken at the same time? That's not going to work certainly. You will have trouble with sound I think. Assuming you are running Alsa under all of this you are likely to find that only one can get access to sound hardware. I've tried to do some of this with a little success, but certainly not enough to feel like I could say it will really work. Good luck! - Mark On Tue, 9 Nov 2004 10:53:24 -0500, Christian Convey <cconvey@cox.net> wrote:> Hey guys, > > I've got two Linux user accounts: foo and bar.

I forgot about that issue. Use a wine group and chmod +2775 on the shared directories, with the wine group for all the files and directories. -- Bill Medland mailto:billmedland@mercuryspeed.com http://webhome.idirect.com/~kbmed
