You could make sure each user also has a personal group with the same name as the username.
Then set the owner on the /home/username to root:username and the perms to ug+rwX and o-rwx. This would make each users home really owned by root with permissions to use by that users group. You could then make the perms on your java file to be owned by root and read-only to the users group. The problem I had with this is being able to set up ssh passkeys. It seems to not want to allow use of these keys unless the parent directory is owned exclusively by the user. Just a thought.

Here is what I've done so far. I installed firefox 0.8, created a default profile for a known user and than copied this profile /home/students/.phoenix to /etc/skel I than used a perl script ( If anybody want's this script, please email me and i'll sent it to you) to create all the student users for my LTSP system. This script creates all the neccesary stuff for all the users in their respective home dirs. The only other problem now is to get the prefs.js file in all those 5000 /home/*****/.phoenix to be read-only so that the students can't change the preferences. Thanks for all the help so far.
