[QUOTE="Joom, post: 10310380, member: 379432"] Nowhere does the guide imply that anybody should be mounting a single partition all over the place. It very plainly covers a single user's home directory. What you said doesn't make much sense, either. Why wouldn't you instead create a Steam partition for each user, and mount those, rather than grant anybody and everybody access to your personal Steam data? To do what you're suggesting, you would need to create a group, add every user to said group, and then chown your entire Steam directory's group ownership. Then you're suggesting that a symlink be thrown "all over your FS". A symlink to your own data that anybody can access if they're part of this group, and we can assume everybody will be. This is beyond proper etiquette, and I sincerely hope nobody actually sets their system up like this. The practice was phased out a long time ago. An actual proper way to do this for a multiuser system would be to allot an amount of space for each user, and have that space mount with, and only with, that user's permissions. If you want to library share, just sign into your account under that user. That all said, I could also be overthinking this. I guess you could have multiple .steam directories on a single partition all symlinked to their respective user, but that seems to be a rather dirty way to go about this. Regardless, it'd be more secure than what I ranted about, and I do apologize if that's what you were referring to. [/QUOTE]
