$0.02: You can have a user with all the preferences you want and just copy that user's home directory each time someone logs in onto the appropriate /home/<username> tree For 3), I'd have a look at squid. It does some real nice working blacklisting here, but I think I heard it can do whitelisting as well For 4): If your LTSP box is the only way to connect from wireless to internet (e.g. two LAN cards installed), you can use iptables to redirect any through traffic to port 80 to local port 8080 (and drop anything else, to hinder them from using other sites' http proxy and stuff). iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -p ! tcp -j DROP iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport ! 80 -j DROP iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -d ! 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -p tcp --dport 80 -m tcp -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080 (adjust IP addresses, and port number if your squid runs on port 3128... - I've seen 3128 and 8080 being common settings around) > That said, is Sawfish the best choice?

Should be strippable to the very bones. /me likes icewm hth, Anselm ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
