RH9 user configuration
 

I just got a laptop and of course deleted windows and installed RH9. Everything works great and have had no problems at all with devices, drivers, and such. Here's the question.

I use the laptop at work and at home for work. At work I have a direct connection to the company's T-1 and thus have a static address, also I setup network printer through a windows box.

At home, I have my own internal network with it's own printer and I connect to the internet through a proxy on one of my servers.

I know there is a way, but have not found it yet, to set my laptop with different accounts that I can load for where I am. for instance, I want to go to work and log in with a "work" account and have all my network settings and printers, etc for work, but not have all the settings that I use for home and vice-versa.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

:Pengy:

there maybe various ways of doing this, but what i would do if i had that situation, would be to set up a username to log in as while at work, and set one up to log in as while at home...
and have all the settings like you want them for each account...
i don't know if your saying you don't know how to do this, but i would assume you already have an account set up on that machine unless your logged in as root...so we'll leave that account that you have for home, and then you'll type in the terminal: useradd and set up a work account...so whenever your home log in as your user, and when at work log in as work

I'll try it and let you know, thanks.

hey guys

I tried to add a user, but it seems that if I change my IP address with one user, it automatically changes it for another user. And if I delete one printer, then it deletes for all the other users.

any other opinions?
