I've been aware of kiosk mode for a long time now but have always had too many other things on my plate to investigate :-). Is kiosk mode the right thing to look at when you have a single client on a network that you want configured in this special way? Is there a better option?
Yes, I also think that it would be optimal to use the kiosk mode. It is set up via utuser on command-line (you can set the default policy, which is likely "regular" in your case, and provide an exception "kiosk" to particular tokens, like the IEEE name of the DTU). Then you need to define a kiosk script to act as the desktop session for the temporary kiosk user, and a template home dir. As the kiosk script for older SRSS (we used 4.0) I can suggest my framework to select a particular kiosk desktop script for different clients; there is a README in the download and a similar text on the wiki here: http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/SRSS_Addon:_FLButselector Alternately see other suggestions here: http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/How_To_Section#SRSS_Addons If you need to occasionally break into the display used to render the applications (to reconfigure as you said), and don't need audio, take a look at VNC consoles - these can be multiusered on demand, with one client autoconnecting as the kiosk shell, and another sometimes connecting to reconfigure stuff interactively from admin workstation.
