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.
