I have several timeshare employees that I would like to have share the<br>
same email account but not the same login. I thought I had a solution<br>
figured out by moving the thunderbird-profile to a directory they could<br>
all access. However thunderbird ignores umask and on closing sets the<br>
inbox as user rw no group permissions.<br>
I thought I would solve my problem with thunderbird resetting the inbox<br>
permissions different than umask by having my different users access the<br>
same thuderbird profile using su. I could just create a user for the<br>
thunderbird account set it up the way I wanted unfortunately it does not<br>
work.<br>
If I type su username -c thunderbird</blockquote><div></div><div>Well, as far as I know, su doesn't work in Ubuntu. There is no root password anyway, so whatever password you enter, it's wrong… Or maybe it just doesn't work for me…</div>
<div></div><div>Have you tried "sudo su" instead of just "su"? Then you just enter your own password when asked.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
instead of opening thunderbird<br>
I get this<br>
<br>
No protocol specified<br>
<br>
(thunderbird-bin:9606): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0<br>
<br>
<br>
any ideas on how to get this to work. These are users that I do not<br>
want to give any special permissions to.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
