Well with regards to network administration, you may have move towards
creating individual user accounts. In my expereince generic accouunts
are much harder to manange because. Unfortunately, my lab is running
windows, but principles pretty much applies.  You can create user
accounts based on the workstations such French01, French02, & etc. The
if you have a german class, it would be German01, German02 & etc.

I hope this helps.

 Dear everyone,
I am looking for someone who has experience with setting up a lab with
multiple user with multiple log-on under OSX server 10.3.
Background :
We have recently implemented a self-access lab with brand new emacs and
OS 10.3 (to allow classic to run for older software). We tyring to set
up OSX Server to authenticate our multiple users with multiple logons
but we have had some issues with  settings and privileges given by the
server upon logon and despite back up (every night). 
For example if a user (french) saved a document on the desktop of one
workstation, it would instantly appear on another station logged under
French. The document would stay there until someone logged under French
deletes it. We have ahd problems with applications on the dock, then we
lost the classic function little by little. 

Currently our workstations are stand alone and users log on following
the language they study. This is far from being practical for we have
other security and privilege issues (like moving/deleting icons within
users respective folders for e.g.)

Please let me know you're your OSX server is set up to allow multiple
user authentication and privileges restrictions...
Thanks for you help!
