Thanks, James. It already is.

I reckon that I can customize each ~/home/ file, but this is not
sysadmin friendly for a multitude of users. I do not have scripting
skills. As it stands, a savvy kid and go edit/preferences and set his
connection settings for a direct connection to the Internet thus
circumventing the above file. To get to nakedness on the Internet, gets
get savvy pretty fast.
