[Kde-kiosk] Lost

[Casey King]

Okay,

I created a group "restricted," and added the user I want to restrict to
that group.  Logged into KDE as you mentioned...smarter, thanks for
mentioning that. Opened KioskTools, and created a GROUP POLICY
"restricted."
Then I created a profile "restricted" and setup this profile as I want.
Now when I log in as "shop" (the uid I want to restrict, which has been
added to the restricted group in the USERS AND GROUPS) the settings have
not been applied.  Have I missed a step?

In a previous Kiosk setup within KioskTools, I had setup individual user
"shop", and then assigned an individual User policy 'shop' and the
settings worked, but the problem was it extended beyond the shop user
and 'infected' any other user also.

What you should do is create a group.  For example, I use "restricted"
as the group.  Any of the users I want to be restricted get assigned to
that group.  In Kiosktool I configure a restrictive profile that only
applies the the group "restricted".  This way when I log in as the
public user I get the restrictions, but when I log in as, say, "admin"
there are no restrictions.  You can also set Kiosktool to only apply it
to certain users.

BTW, you shouldn't log in KDE as root.  That's what "sudo" is for.
