I have actually implemented that for an HPUX-based MIS system using a Progress db. All users have their own "playpen" and cron sweeps up the all-too-frequent cores and printer temps. #2 is *not* going to cut it when the user homes are NFS-mounted from a central server(s). On the other hand, it's a good idea when the server has more resources than the workstation (terabyte FC-disks over gigabit ether).
