We have a networked installation of OpenRoad (W4GL) with twelve file servers
all over QLD. The Following Setup Has been in place for a year now and works
exceptionally well.

Your autoexec.bat file on the P.C must have entries such as :-
where H: is a network drive mounted by each P.C. the or_dev
directory is just where I installed the openroad runtime/development
environment.

REM -- Setup required for access to CA OpenROAD
REM -- V3 Development Network Installation

SET II_SYSTEM=h:\or_dev
SET PATH=%II_SYSTEM%\ingres\bin;%PATH%
SET LIB=%II_SYSTEM%\ingres\lib;%LIB%
SET INCLUDE=%II_SYSTEM%\ingres\files;%INCLUDE%
SET TZ=GMT-10


The CONFIG.ING file in H:\or_dev\ingres\files directory
has the following set :-
Where the M: drive is a directory each user's P.C mounts on the
File server, this means that each user has their own M: drive, therefore
the ingres log file is directed here, and you get no conflicts with
the log file accessing.
Really the II_LOG is the important one!!!
contrary to opinion the II_CONFIG and II_MSGDIR should be on
a shared read only filesystem (H:) so that you maintain a common 
installation.
