Hi All, I would like to make my users have access to some sort of graphical shell / filemanager (which term is more correct?)... Kind of like windows explorer, only I don't want them to have easy access to the server's directory tree. (Since most of them are teenage kids and some of them like to try and "break things") .
Any advice how to go about this? <Shot in the dark>: Is it possible (and practical) to use Nautilus or some other program and set it up in some sort of "chroot jail" (quoting from Linux Magazine) so that they get a "My documents" window with correct file associations (word docs to open office, jpgs to an image viewer, etc) but no easy access to outside directories? Anybody done this or can help me figure out how to do it for several hundred users? (the practical aspect). I'm currently running IceWM over GDM on RH 7.2. I know they can find ways to get around something like this, but I'm just trying to make it not so straight forward... while still providing for some measure of convenience O:-) Thoughts?
