You are lucky.

When I want to restrict a program to a certain group. For example only allow
a certain group to run firefox.

1) create a new group called firefox (system-config-users)
2) Add firefox group to all who you wish permission to run it
3) change group of firefox binary to firefox (chgrp firefox
/usr/bin/firefox)
4) change permission of firefox binary (chmod 754 /usr/bin/firefox)

As for Fl_teachertool see my web page instruction #5
Setting up to run with sudo
http://www3.telus.net/public/robark/Fl_TeacherTool/
oh and BTW the path to the binary is /usr/sbin/fl_teachertool
disregard the /local/ in the path



2.  Is there a C compiler that comes stock with K12LTSP?
