RE: NT Problems


I wonder if it might not be related to bash
trying to write to it's history file in their
home directory (which I'm assuming is still on
the C: drive). Modify /etc/profile to change the
value of HOME to be on the network drive before
the user gets a prompt (or try setting HOME
immediately)

I use a network drive for my HOME, without any
problems, so I know it can be done.
