Greetings fellow list members,
We currently have a Solaris 9 environment with all the user home
directories centrally mounted to a NFS server. This works fine with
multiple users logging in from multiple machines.
I 'm now trying to do the same thing with our Linux machines. However,
when setup this way, Gnome complains that an .Xauthority file already
exists from another machine. Aside from that all seems to work.
I 'm working across an isolated network that is only accessable to the
servers in question and I 'm only looking at a limited number of admins
being able to login to the machines and/or access the NFS server. So
I 'm not really worried about the .Xauthority file being seen over the
network.
I would however, like to get rid of the error message.
In researching this, I found a GDM parameter called UserAuthDir that
should let me move the directory. I was hoping to be able to set
something like ~/.Xauthority/`uname -n`/
Before doing this though, I thought I 'd ask everyone 's opinion on this.
