Okay, I'm getting closer now. I was able to install the two packages for uttsc and now have an example session descriptor to work from. However, I'm pretty confused on how to set up the session script, the /etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/uttsc/uttsc script reference a lot to do with the Sunray connector. Do you happen to have a basic Gnome one created yet? I've also seen reference to one that displays a full screen brower... Where can I view that session descriptor. Thanks!!

On Solaris we deliver predefined desktop-style sessions based on CDE and JDS. The closest equvalent for Linux would be a Gnome-based desktop-style session. We don't include a supported Gnome-based session for Linux in this release. The main reason is, that 'Gnome on Linux' is not a well-defined target. The different Linux distributions we support contain vendor-customized releases of different Gnome versions. A main issue for Kiosk Sessions is locking down the environment, so that unauthenticated kiosk users don't get full access to the host machine. In the Solaris JDS sessions we use lockdown interfaces that Sun has added to Gnome and which are not available in the Gnome versions used by RHEL AS 4 or SLES 9. I am working on creating a sample Gnome Kiosk session for Linux that I can publish, maybe via the Think Thin blog. Until I have that ready, you can also try to take the contents of the SUNWkio-jds3 Solaris package and adapt it to your Linux flavor. Documentation for session and application descriptors currently exists as manual pages. Try man -M /opt/SUNWkio/man kiosk I am also planning to write an article about creating kiosk sessions, with examples. HTH Regards - Jörg Barfurth [*] In the SRSS4.0U2 Beta, the uttsc kiosk integration is a separate package, which comes with SRSS and needs to be manually installed from the Supplemental/Kiosk_Mode_4.0 section. In the final release this will be installed as part of the SRWC install. > On Fri, 29 Jun 2007 11:15:33 -0400 > "Greg Rodenhiser" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> > wrote: > > > Has anyone gotten kiosk mode to work on Linux?
