1. Use iptables to not allow user access through port 80 (so proxy is required) 2. Use a default Firefox preferences file for all user. 3. Use gconf to set the proxy for Gnome programs 4. Use /etc/profile.d to set environment variables for programs such as wget 5. Use the Netscape-style "wpad.dat" autoconfiguration system I hope all this is covered in more detail here: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/ManagingUserConfiguration Andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
