applications, keep the following in mind:

 You need the Create right in the directory where you will be installing the

application.

 Follow the instructions in the application’s documentation for installing

the application onto a network.

 Make sure the application is designed for network (multiuser) use, and

that you observe any licensing restrictions on the number of users who

can access the application.

map the directory to a fake root. For more information about distributing
