Has anybody here experience with a multiuser environment? MorphOS 2.x
preferences has an element called "Users", but what does it do? I guess it only makes sense when using filesystems that also have the notion of users. Does it do something to network resources shared with SAMBA/CIFS? Can it take care of authentication in other servers?
I guess that, when preferences are stored properly (in "ENV:" and "ENVARC:"), which not every application might do, different user profiles would be doable, creating subdirectories in "SYS:PREFS/ENV-ARCHIVE" and swithching to them at the beginning of the startup-sequence. But that's not really multiuser.
Don't get me wrong, I just
love MorphOS
not having the notion of user at all! I'm just being curious, because no Amiga operating system has had multiuser abilities.
