Allows multiple users to use the same linux account

multiuser

Allows multiple users to use the same linux account.

This package helps to set up a linux account for multiple users (for a lab session for example). All the users will share the same login and password on the machine, but they will have to select their name when they log in. This action will change their $HOME environment variable such that they will not interfere too much with other users.

Warning: this package is not secure and relies on trusting the users.

Install

Copy all the files to a new account, and modify the users file to include the name of your users. You can also add files to the skel directory such than all the users will get a copy of these files.
