I'm fairly new to olwm but it seems to me that
there are a lot of things lacking in terms of
control of the environment when running olwm.
I have a small network consisting of one Sparc2,
one Sparc IPC, 2 NCD19 and 1 NCD16.  The NCD machines
all use the Sparc2 as a Xserver host and they all run
olwm.  One of the difficulties is that there seems
to be no easy way to have each machine using a different
.openwin-init file.  Sure, I can have each machine start
it's own set of tools automatically but I want them to be
positioned appropriately and, if I choose to invoke SAVE
WORKSPACE, I want the corresponding init file to be affected
not the host .openwin-init file.

Is there some "easy" way of doing this that I don't know about?


Thanks
