Pretty straightforward if you have console access, as would be the case at an internet cafe. You can't block every port, remember why they call it an an internet cafe?

BTW, how hard is it to install a keylogger on a mandrake box behind an
IPCop firewall?

Just adding to Andrew's points too; we surely have a better offer available..

Is there some safety in creating a user 'cafe' e.g., and disabling most console tools and write access for that user, once online access is set up?

It is stunning to see "Linux is a secure OS" so easily disproved. Obviously, things like disabling fdd & cd boot in the bios, blocking physical access to the box, etc., are part of any relative 'guarantee' too.

There is much commercial relevance in this, and I'm hoping someone has a pointer or two ready on it :-)

The simplest way of doing this is to reboot after the money runs out. Use a readonly image. Sorted.
