[K12OSN] desktop lockdown

[Adam Melancon]

I don't know if you are having them login as individual users, but
there is always kiosk mode which I'm using at the library here.

There were some catches, so I wrote down what I did to get around them.

The way that I have it setup is that the computer auto logs in using
the workstation name.  The people can do and change anything they want
on the desktop, but when they logout and it auto logs back in, the
/home/$WORKSTATIONNAME folder is blown out and replaced from /etc/skel
which resets the desktop back to the original setup.
