  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)

    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.

    Hi, I am needing help with user profiles in edubuntu.  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.
