[K12OSN] SSHFS and Open Office - two separate issues

[Bert Rolston]

Hi folks,

Thanks for the help with SMB4K, sshfs, and accessing file on my SAMBA
server from my Linux desktop.

I've just about got it all working the way I want. 

I've gone with sshfs because it allows the file system access that I
want. Unfortunately I can't get it to force user ID's the way SAMBA
does. Which leads to my first question -

"How do you force the user to be someone else when a file is created
while accessing files using sshfs, e.g. bert is the user that logs in
and accesses a file in public folder, but all files should remain
user=public, group=public?"

My second question is how to automate the sshfs connection process, so
that it sort of simulates a login script, and automagically mounts the
server folders into my local file system? I've tried generating a
public/private key, but it isn't working.

===============================
PART TWO

Upon further investigation, I have found that I CAN open some files
across the network using KONQUEROR / FISH. 

Scribus files are O.K. but the graphics links are messed up, even though
the graphic is in the same folder as the document.

I can open and modify KDISSERT file without any problems.

BUT.............

When I try to work on an Open Office document OO will start to load then
times out. 

Does the speed of my network effect OO. 

I'm cash strapped, so I am using an old 10 meg hub. We only have 3
workstations and the server on the network.

I also load over 200 fonts on my machine, could this be a factor?

I need to resolve these issues by Friday. 

I receive the list mail in digest form, so if you could reply directly
to me as well as the list I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Bert
