What I've done is created a standard profile called default that I copy into all the home directories (/home/username/.phoenix) for each user and change the permissions so it is owned by the appropriate user. I then have a prefs.js file that is symlinked to a central, read-only one in another directory. This lets me set browser preferences globally for all users and keep them from being changed.

I start firebird like this for each user:

/usr/bin/MozillaFirebird/MozillaFirebird -P default

This reduces the set-up time quite a bit when adding users and gives me the control I want over the browser preferences. I've also fairly extensively edited the .xul files for firebird to remove some functions I don't want users to have. Using the same firebird binary with identical profiles in each user's home lets me basically centrally manage the browser on the LTSP server.

Hello LTSP world:


    I have never tried it but you should be able to manually edit the
file to change the directory - i.e. point to each user's home directory.
A quick script should be able to copy and change a bunch of accounts at
once.


I'm also trying to do the mozilla thingie but with Firefox (it's lighter and more usable, I think.). After a bit of google search and some conversations in irc.mozilla.org/#mozilla,#firefox,#mozillazine, I think that the script could be the best option.

Anyway, I'm still solving some other problems in my LTSP system so I'm a bit busy. If you create the script and it works, please send it to me!
