[K12OSN] Valid shells and a couple of other question about thin clients

I'm in the process of setting up thin client server to add to our existing Windows network.

All the backend for all the windows boxes is already linux based using Matt's excellent installer 
script and has been working happily for several years now.

I've installed a test server with K12LTSP 6.0.0 and this authenticates OK against our LDAP server 
but I have few questions :-)

1.) Do the users have to have a vlaid shell ? at the moment they are all set to /bin/false

2.) What's the best way to set things like proxies in Firefox, can I install the same global 
extension I created in CCK for the windows machines ?

3.) What's the best way to stop little finger fiddling, I've tried KioskTool, is this the best way.

I've got more questions but that'll do for now :-)

Thanks
