Hi,
I´m trying to deploy KDE on a thin client server but I want to be able
to lock down typical configuration sections so common users can´t change
some of the system settings. I already read the whole sysadmin
documentation from kde.org, all those things about the directory
structure and configuration files, but I got a little confused when I
reached the Kiosk mode. So, if anyone can help me, here is my question:
Is the KDE kiosk framework just the result of the ability we have to
edit the configuration files, for example, on /opt/kde/share, using
immutable attributes, or is it something more than that? By looking at
how kiosktool works, it appears to use profiles that, according to the
its docs, are nothing else than KDE configuration directory structures.
However, I see no KDEDIRS variable exporting them, so it appears there´s
something more to it than the KDE documentation explains. Can someone
point me to the right direction here? I´m kinda lost :(
Thanks!
