SUMMARY: accounts for multiuser systems

Only received 3 responses ... thanks to your responses.

1. Do not create a nightmare with group accounts. (I agree)
2. Disable lock screen (in CDE I still do not know how).
3. Use "xlockmore".  It has an option where the user can be logged out
after a
   configurable timeout by a button on the screen (sounds promising!)

I beleive that this could work ... if I can only figure out
#2 ... how to disable CDE-lock on a workstation.

Thanks again,
Harold
