It's possible --- and tedious --- to copy a seamonkey profile to other |
| 48 |
users. Then you find you have a number of users who require a more or |
| 49 |
less different setup, or you add more users later with a more or less |
| 50 |
different profile, or you need to add something to the profile for all |
| 51 |
users, and you're back to square one. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
I'd find it very useful to be able to do settings for multiple users |
| 54 |
with some sort of configuration software which allows me to make |
| 55 |
settings for them from an administrative account: change a setting, |
| 56 |
select the users it should apply to, apply it and be done with it. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
The way it is now, I need to log in as every user that needs some change |
| 59 |
of settings and do that for each of them over and over again. This |
| 60 |
already sucks with a handfull of users. What do you do when you have |
| 61 |
hundreds of users? |
