You might want to looking setting up a chroot jail for this user that has all the libraries and utilities needed to run these two apps, but no shells, etc. Another alternative is to write a simple launcher program that is launched by xinit and becomes the user's "shell," replacing the gnome desktop, etc. Also search google for premade kiosk setups for edubuntu. > > Thanks, > -Daniel > > /* > PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net > Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug > Don't fear the penguin. > */ > /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
