Hello David, It all boils down to files in a home directory.
When your Kiosk session starts and its temporary user is initialized, the template paths are copied to the user's newly (re-)created home dir. To configure a Mozilla/Firefox session I usually did this: started with a Regular user session (or tweaked a kiosk session to have a terminal), configured the browser and closed it. Put all attention to details like splash screen, proxy servers, etc. After the browser is closed I restart it to check that its configuration files created and saved in my current user's home are sufficient for my needs (perhaps I also wipe the file cache after the tests), and close it again. Now is a good moment to tar the ~/.mozilla or ~/.firefox or ~/.opera directory and get its contents to the Kiosk template. Just in case you'd use FLButselector package to customize Kiosks per-user or per-DTU, its browser wrapper-scripts can be provided a tarball of user's preferences and unpack it before starting the browser. This allows, for example, to save a certain user's (person's) proxy password into his or her individual tarball. We used this trick on one setup where users of a locked-down organization did not know their random proxy passwords, so they couldn't get to internet from their Windows workplaces, but only from a preconfigured terminal session they could... //Jim Thursday, July 10, 2008, 4:14:42 AM, you wrote: DK> I'm going to persist with the n00bish questions :) >> 4) In the SRSS Kiosk admin page, I enter the following arguments to the >> FF executable: >> >> -profile "/var/opt/SUNWkio/home/*/.mozilla/firefox/FFKiosk" -kiosk DK> This seems to work OK - except that I have discovered that I cannot DK> run more than one session concurrently on more than one DTU - as the DK> profile seems to be "fought" over.
