You may try this: 1. first configure all the settings well 2. copy all files in the user's home directory to a only-root-writable place 3. write a script that: 3.1. remove everything in the guest's home directory, except for example a directory that they can store their own files (e.g. `~guest/data/') 3.2. copy the files that are stored in step 2 back to the user's home directory 4. run the script that are written in step 3 whenever the settings should be reset (e.g. when every time the system boots) HTH - -- Cheers, Wei Chen http://www.acplex.com/people/wchen/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGT+XaCIqXQV6BF28RAuHDAJ9yjcrTgBY5ax1YgekSyRXkCnpAGgCgqqGn 00vuR3KTMF5/vwyhyD/jh0I= =BgdT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
