Would the installed version work?
If you did that, then you'd have it installed locally in $HOME, which goes against the LSB, and is bad practice and a security risk!
You could just install as a network client which only copies the file need to run the program from the server.
That is as maybe, Andrew, but I am unsure whether or not Samuel requires individual $USER configs or just wants a generic one.
Say for instace its not important. Would it be possible to ingnore some home directories when using "*"? -- Andrew Nix St Pauls Catholic High School Firbank Road Newall Green Wythenshawe Manchester M23 2YS tel: 0161 4375841 ext 168 fax: 0161 4982030
