Relocating non-persistent parts of Firefox profile.

About a year ago I wrote up a Cool Solution for moving Firefox's urlclassifer3.sqlite file out of a user's home directory. This Cool Solution describes a better method of doing this which also redirects the Cache and other parts of the profile that don't need to be persistent.

Relocating Firefox's urlclassifier3.sqlite file

Firefox's urlclassifier3.sqlite can grow quite large which can be problematic where users have quotas applied to their home directories. Unfortunately Firefox provides no method to relocate the file, but it is possible to relocate on Linux using a wrapper script.

Allow a user to log in when their home directory is missing

If you administer Linux machines where the home directories are mounted from remote servers then you may have experienced the annoying situation where one of those servers goes down for some reason and as a result some people can't log in to the Linux machines with a full GNOME session.

This guide explains how to configure machines running SLED 11 to allow a user to log in with a full GNOME session even when their home directory cannot be mounted from the remote sever.
