Ah! I'll bet vlc is looking on the CLIENT /tmp and not the SERVER /tmp. You can set up the server /tmp to be mounted by the clients. I've not thought through what the performance/security issues will be. I don't see performance as much of a problem as security is. Things _should_ be UID-safe as long as all shared-space users originate their security access (password, master user list on AD or LDAP) from the server. <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 17, 2012 at 1:19 AM, lpadumorvan <<a href="mailto:lpadumorvan@free.fr">lpadumorvan@free.fr</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div bgcolor="#ffffff"> <div> <div>Hi I want to play <a>http://www.example.com/video.mpg</a> Firefox and vlc are installed on the server and on the client I use centos6_64 for the server and centos6_32 for the client.
