Why not keep a known good home directory on hand, and replace it on logout? With KDE it's as easy as: cat > /home/kioskuser/.kde/shutdown/reset-home.sh #!/bin/sh rm -rf $HOME/* cp -pr /usr/local/share/kioskuser-home/* $HOME ^D chmod +x /home/kioskuser/.kde/shutdown/reset-home.sh Other desktops should have similar functionality. > I want the machine to undo all the possible > changes the user may have done while he/she was using it. > I've seen this behavior on Windows Machines in Schools and Offices, > and I know it has something to do about a server controlling all the > individual computers but I want to apply that behavior to a Single Linux > computer without having the server in the middle... > If there's not a "General Linux Tool" I would like to Know wich > distro and desktop enviroment are the best choice to get this done, > using what tools, > P.S. it's like...
