One thing to be leery about (when thinking about giving each user her own C:) is that any change to any file within the C: file causes the entire C: file to be backed up. This can get to be a problem when users start using it for data files and such. On our system each user can have thier own C:, but they are required to keep all of their data files in a standard unix partition (as long as their software still works). -- Conor P.
