How to make all users have the same working environment?

Hi guys,
thanks for helping out on this issue.
Is there a way to set all users on your system to have the same working environment? I believe, as root you can edit the /etc/profile. But when I looked at the file, I was confused. I had no idea where to add stuff because it was a script.
Please if anyone can help me explain how to customize system wide working environments, I will be very grateful .
Thank you
Arrey

Hi.
It's not clear what you understand under system wide working environments ?
/etc/profile it's one possible solution.
Another way - put custimozed .profile to all users and use customezed */etc/skel* for new users.
Regards.

  • How can I configure FireFox security setting globally for all users on a PC? Is there something I can do in group policies or throught the registry to insure all users have the same settings?

    Our Bank's core processor has rewritten their product to run in a web browser. Their browser of choice is Firefox 3.6. The specifications from our core processor specify specific security and settings parameters that must be adhered to by all users for their product to run properly. Is there a way to globally configure these settings via the registry or group policies to insure everyone who logs in to a given workstation opens Firefox with the same settings? Thank you for any assistance you can provide - Steve Gish, First Bank Kansas.

  • How can multiple Mac users have the same iTunes?

    I have a MacBook, and my wife and I have separate accounts on it. It's easier that way for separate Facebook accounts, email, etc. However, it's complicated when it comes to iTunes and applications. We both want to use the same iTunes library. We have iTunes Match, but I'd rather not re-download my entire library when it's already on my computer just so we both have access to it. I tried following the directions at this article, but it didn't work. So, how can both my wife and I, from different accounts on the same Mac (and using the same Apple ID) access the same iTunes library and have any changes reflected on both accounts?

    Obviously, if you just need to copy those iTunes folders, you don't need the ability to write; just the ability to read, which you already have.
    Besides, the /Users/Shared folder is indeed an excellent location for a shared iTunes library; I hadn't yet considered that. Ignore all the above instructions. First, make sure your two iTunes libraries are in sync. Use an external hard drive (or mess with permissions) to do what copying you need to. Then go into iTunes and iTunes>Preferences...>Advanced and change the iTunes Media folder location to /Users/Shared. All of your iTunes content should be copied (or moved) into /Users/Shared.
    After that, do the same thing in the other account, and both your iTunes libraries will now be pointed to the same location.

  • How to make movies that have the same format as WS DVDs?

    What screen format do you use when creating a new project to have it look like store bought Wide Screen DVDs? Is it DV-NTSC Anamrophmoric 720x480, or should you go up to HDV 720/30? The final output will be to DVD and shown on a wide screen (16:9) monitor.
    It seems that the Anamrophic it not wide enought to look like wide screen and what is the deal with the project format and then the output format. I tried several variations and found a circle wipe that looks round on the FCP screen and exported using "Current Settings" it comes out oval?
    I found settings that look like they will work but would like to hear from someone who knows more than I.
    Thanks,

    All the footage is 4:3 DV which I will have to blow it up to fit 16:9.
    As I stated before the anamorphic format did not seem to be as wide as I had hoped for. When I tried anamorphic it looked like it was just doing letterbox with black on top and bottom not real wide screen.
    I guess I will just have to try out some short clips to see for myself.
    So when you choose DV Anamorphic for the project format then do you choose Current Settings when you export the file or custom?
    Thanks

  • HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
    Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
    What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.

  • I have itunes on a mac with 2 users but the library only shows on the main user how can both users have the same library?

  • May i ask why all linksys have the same password.

    May i ask why all linksys have the same password. i just edit my password. some one did hack in to my router. next time you make a router. give password out that not the same. some just hack in to my. it fix now. i lost net for 3hr.

    You have to understand that linksys produces an amazing amount of routers.  They frequently come out with new models and revisions.  It would be a very confusing process for each model/version to have a different username and password. 
    Using a shared default username and password makes the life of computer techs easier because we know what it will be, assuming the user hasn't changed the defaults.
    It's absolutely your responsibility to change your default password when you setup your router.  Just as it's essential to setup security on your wireless router when you install it.  If you're router is being hacked from the outside I would greatly recommend setting up WPA encryption on your router to help stop this in the future.

  • How to create many user in the same database

    hi
    my question is "How to create many user in the same database(application)?"
    for example, i have students, teachers, and staffs user using my application.
    i can create many users to use the same application right?, how ^^''' ???
    (right now i can only create application and then it shows every data in my DB
    but i want it to show only the data for the user who login to that application)
    Thanks.
    ps. i'm newbie, please help T^T

    You need to create a user table within your application that maintains their privileges. If you have LDAP you could use this for authorisation otherwise the table would handle that as well (store passwords etc). Your reports etc would then be filtered on information from this table.
    Check out some of the sample applications to see how authorisation and access is implemented (Online store is one). The how-to on the issue tracking system should also have some useful pointers.

  • Adobe Captivate 7 - distributing settings to all users on the same computer?

    Is there a way to share preference to all users on the same computer?
    Perference->General settings:
    [ ] show welcome screen
    Publish at: c:\newpublishdir\
    Project cache: c:\projectcachedir\
    Perference-> Recording->video demo:
    Working folder: c:\testdir\
    The dirs I listed is just for example

    Hi there
    If what you are asking is if there is a way to configure all users so they have identical preferences, you might try this:
    From any account on the computer, open Captivate. Click Edit > Preferences and ensure the settings are pointing to a common location shared by all accounts on the computer. Dismiss preferences.
    Now click File > Export > Preferences... and save them to a file in a known location that is also shared by all accounts.
    Now open each of the other accounts on the computer, start Captivate and click File > Import > Preferences... and see if things are configured accordingly. If so, repeat the process for all accounts on the computer.

    Hi James,
    According to BI 7.0 Version
    Steps of creating workbook and to insert more than one query in a workbook.
    When you run a query and it opens in Bex Analyzer you can click the save button and pick "Save as Workbook".
    Once you save it as a workbook Click on the "Design Mode" button in the Bex toolbar (looks like an A).
    Click in the sheet where you want the new query to go, click the "Analysis Grid" button. It will add the analysis grid to your new sheet.
    Right click on the Analysis grid and go to properties.
    Click on button to change data provider and select the query you want to attach.
    Exit design mode and you should be all set.

  • How can I do to have the same contacts in all my devices, pc, iPad and iMac?

    I have severl devices and the last taime I updated my contacts was almos manually. I would Like to be able to have the same contacts in all, pc, iPad, and iMac.
    How can I set it so to get it done through iCloud?
    For instance in my pc ( windows 7 Home Premium ) I use Outlook 2007.
    Thanks for any comment on this.

    switching on iCloud should automatically tell it to merge data with that device and icloud. i'm on a mac but its gotta be the same on all devices and systems.
    when you switch on icloud for Contacts on a PC, it will tell you its merging all contacts with icloud...

  • How do I set up the app FindMyiPhone on more than one phone when all phones have the same Apple ID?

    I have two iPhones and I want to set up FindMyiPhone on both phones but we both have the same apple acct.  I want to be able to track my teenage son's whereabouts and this would be a good way.  When I log into iCloud, only my iPhone shows up.  His used to but after I did a weekly restart on my iPhone I lost his.  Before, mine wasn't showing up, only his.  Now mine show's up but his doesn't.

    You could look at using a template.  Create your master template, create editable and non-editable regions, then use this template create all the child pages.  When you need to make a change to the menu, make it in the template and the changes will flow down to all the pages created from the template.
    Using DW Templates:

    The other option would be to create the Navigation item as a server side include...

    Difference between using a template and server side includes.
    When you make a change to a template, you need to re-upload all the pages created from the template.
    Using a SSI, you make the change in the ssi file,  upload it and all pages are automatically updated.
