1) set each terminal to auto-login to the same user
2) have each terminal run firefox properly when logged in as the same user
3) be able to easilly setup and manage a whitelist of websites
4) have said whitelist be managed by a transparent proxy server, so people could connect with thier laptops via 802.11B/G or 10/100 ethernet connection and have the whitelist enforced.
Now, why do I want 1) and 2) together? So it's easier to manage. I hate having to update all of my firefox and window manager preferences for each user (currently have 4 user accounts set up) each time they change.
Currently, I have each of them launch a cut-down Firefox 0.10 (modified browser.jar that disallows just about everything other than, well, browsing) and the Sawfish window manager -- nothing else. I have a script that launches firefox, and when firefox closes, it deletes Firefox's cache and cookies and history, launches another copy of said script. Is there a better way to do this?
I have to manually log in to each terminal, and manually change each's preferences when things are updated. I'd love to change them globally, but can't figure out how.
That said, is Sawfish the best choice? I want a very simple but moderately attractive WM with an extremely low footprint (in terms of memory, disk space, load time, and CPU) that only allows the user to:
1) move windows
2) maximize windows
2) close windows
