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?
You can start from the Solaris Gnome session. You can find the files for
that on the SRS4U2 install media, under the
Kiosk_Mode_4.0/Solaris_10+/i386/Packages/SUNWkio-jds3/reloc/ directory.
It should be pretty clear where these files go. You may have to adjust
some of the configuration settings, which you can find under
etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/jds3/gconfdata.
I've also seen reference to one that displays a full screen
brower... Where can I view that session descriptor. Thanks!!
I haven't see that one. The main part of the script ought to be be
simple - launch the browser maybe with some options to get full screen.
You may wish to start a window manager first, unless you can configure
the browser to show all popup windows as tabs. The most tricky part
probably is creating a home directory prototype that has all the
necessary settings for your browser.

On Linux there is no predefined Kiosk Mode session descriptor that
comes
with SRSS, only the uttsc session that comes with SRWC[*].
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.

[*] 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.
