Re: [libreoffice-users] Setting the default save folder system-wide (Ubuntu 11.10)

Hi.
LO won't let me use $USER in the documents path.
If you only have 1 user per machine, can you put documents in /mnt/share
If it is the same share for all users do you need the $USER.
If you create the directory /mnt/share then LO should have no problems 
with the path if the share fails to mount as it is just an empty 
directory until the mount.

I created a folder in our users home directories called network. In this 
I created folders dropbox, QA, production, etc. to which I mount our 
various network shares. I found it was easier for our users to find 
network in their home folder than look for mnt.

I add lines into each users .profile file to mount the shares at log on, 
make .profile owner root and readable only by user.
((mount|grep //10.2.1.249/public) || /sbin/mount.cifs 
//10.2.1.249/public /home/steve/network/stardom/public -o 
username=steve%password,noperms,nosetuids,rw)
I did not want users to have to reboot to re-mount so I did not mount 
the share at startup.

/sbin/mount.cifs has to be chmoded u+s to enable users to run it at logon.

Is the mount samba or nfs? Just change above as necessary.
