Antoine, I am not sure how it was done(I did not do it and do not deem it necessary in my situation here), but when I first started working at the place I do now there were different programs available to users based on their roles. This was all done in ltsp 4.2. From what I understand it is actually done through kde, our ldap setup with the users roles defined there and linux permissions.
so say for example a sales person would only have access to sales specific tools, and if they tried to run a program they had access to via the command line they would get blocked because the binary was not executable by their group. Then a purchasing emplyee would have a different set of options available to them. we use kde here so this was all visible through the kmenu Grant Antoine Rodriguez wrote: > Antoine Rodriguez wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I'm a beginner in LTSP. >> >> I'm using ubuntu 9.10 alternative with "LTSP Mode" >> >> Everything works fine but : >> >> How do I avoid having the server applications installed on my client >> chroot environment ? >> >> For instance : >> I install italc-master on my server and only italc-client in the >> > chroot. > >> When I connect with the thin client I have italc-master that show up >> > on > >> the gnome menu. >> >> How do I avoid this ?
