Thanks. Now I'll try your indications.
But I understand it isn't possible to have different settings
for different users, i.e. to apply 'discrimination' to different users, is
that right?
I mean, suppose that John is a normal user but also the superuser,
whereas Frank is only a normal user:
the superuser John may wish to apply those restrictions
only to the normal user Frank but not to the normal user John,
otherwise when John logs into the system as normal user
he can't see the rest of the system in graphic mode.
Is such a differentiation impossible?

Cheers,
Rodolfo
