I have installed Halflife through Steam and running it with wine. How do I allow other users to access Steam (which is a program that runs HL and other games) ?

any help would be appreciated

The easiest way would be to copy your ~/.wine directory to their home directories. This would have to be redone each time you install games though.

The best way would be to configure wine to use a globally accessible directory such as /usr/share/wine where all users have read/write permissions or something.

tried to share wine to run steam, but it says it's in usr/share/wine directory and it's a root dir so i can't.

Anyone else tried to install games thru wine or HL that can help ????

Thanks
