Multiple sessions

[Romeyn Prescott]

Hi there,

I'm having some trouble figuring out how to get multiple users to be 
able to log into my box and run their own MOL sessions.  Here's the 
scenario:

- G4 with plenty of RAM
- Separate HD with a partition for each user.  For the purpose of 
discussion, let's say there are three users: User1, User2, and User3 
assigned /dev/hda10, /dev/hda12, and /dev/hda14 respectively.  Each 
of these partitions has a separate OS X installation on it.

What I want is for User1 to login via ssh (with X forwarding) and, 
when running startmol, get his own partition.

Here's what I've been able to glean from messing with the config 
files.  I have two ideas:

1) Somehow modify the session.map file to create a new session that 
references a different molrc file for each user.  e.g. 'startmol -6' 
would invoke session 6 which would point to /etc/mol/molrc.User1.  I 
have tried this, but get a "bad boot_method value" error.  Not sure 
what's wrong here...

2) Use the --alt switch, but I'm not sure how/where to specify WHICH 
alternate configuration on a per-user basis, or if it's even possible.

Thoughts?
