i use KDE's kiosktool and it is really great for locking down KDE for different groups of users, BUT... for locking down (partially) of Firefox and OpenOffice i have a special user i call Sandbox in which i setup OpenOffice and Firefox and then copy all the .openoffice and .mozilla folders to all the other user from this one. and of course changing their ownership too :-) works great ! (if you'd like this method, i'll send you the scripts for copying the config folder to all other users) <div> On 6/11/07, Cody Grosskopf <<a href="mailto:cgrossko@wusd.org">cgrossko@wusd.org</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I use Gnome for all my users, so I just created one user and then used gconf-editor to lock down one user after that I just copied that directory to /etc/skel and created users that way. For KDE there is a nice tool called Kiosktool that is fairly easy to use.

I am working on a LTSP setup and everything is fine except I can't figure out how to lock the sessions down. I have tried pessulus and sabayon. Neither of them seem to have any effect on anything. I have googled this for a while now and haven't found any sites that really helped. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Jason R.
