update, and not fool proof
Authored by: soob on Mar 01, '02 12:25:34PM

First, I've decided against using aliases for any of the shared files. I was having display problems with the sidebar items until I made hard links instead of aliases for those files.

Second, I can't seem to get some functionality to work properly. Specifically, I'm unable to save form data (on a page, preferences works fine) or login info for a page in the profile that is using the linked files. The profile that has the original files doesn't have this problem. Sites that already had saved data before I started sharing the files still work.

If anyone has any ideas, send them along. In the meantime, I'll be trying different things to see if I can get it to work.

All of this seems rather strange given the nature of hard links. I'd expect there to be no problem since there isn't any chance of the files getting used by both profiles at the same time.

I'll keep updating... Jim
