We've been having good luck using MySQL for the userprefs. I used the php-sa-mysql web front-end with a few minor tweaks.On Wed, Oct 23, 2002 at 10:01:21AM -0400, Chris Santerre wrote:"Of course, you probably need to use a userprefs database in that case,

Aside from moving the process to another system, Are you saying that seting
up the users in a database is a faster process then putting configs in user
directories? I haven't completed my setup for the company. I've just been
testing. I was going to use mailertable for people without custom settings,
and just setup users who wanted custom in regular home dirs.
I've only got about 100-120 email addresses to handle. So maybe this doesn't
even matter to me.
I have learned to dislike NFS dependencies and user home directories on boxes that don't absolutely need them. I will take a database over those options anyday.
The database also gives you one place to look for/change settings. Most
of my users are lucky to know which mouse button to use at any time.
Editing userprefs files would blow their minds. Eventually I will put
up a web frontend so they can tweak their own settings in the database
but, until then, it is not a major burden to us to add the entries for
the users who need/want special settings.
