Hi John,

Have you a solution now or additional experiences?

I use a "Open Web Access"-Server (like Citrix, but OpenSource: SLES9 SP2, 
Nomachine NX, KDE, KMail, Konqueror, Acrobat Reader, OpenOffice, Cups and 
some little other KDE programs) to provide secure Surf&Mail for more than 700 
users and I use KIOSK 0.9 (from Suse 9.2).  It works good and stable on 
HP Compaq DL380 G3 3,1GHz, 4GB RAM, SAN-Storage (up to 85 users/server at 
the same time).
OpenOffice 2.0 an Adobe Reader7 are the only non KDE programs, the users get. 
The Desktop, Panel, Proxy settings, Konqueror 
settings, usable programs are immutable.
No I started with my second server: HP DL385 - Dual Operon in the same 
configuration. I copied the KIOSK-settings (profiles) from the x86 Server and 
all settings  are applied to the users of the restricted group. But, if I 
want to do some special changes in KIOSK at the new server the savings don't 
work and the fish command seams not present.
My workaround is to prepare the KIOSK-Profiles on x86-server and send them 
(ssh) to the AMD64. It's not a problem for me because of equal configuration.  
Are there any other experiences?
