Hmm, what's this stuff about the symlinked shadow tree?
When installing this stuff under solaris, there was an
option /net to the setup, which force it to create a
master installation. All users have to execute setup
without /net to install their local .rc-files.
Does it work differently on linux?

Thanx,
