James,

If you haven't already found it, have a read of the Kiosk HOWTO on LDP:

http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kiosk-HOWTO.html


>From memory, it doesn't solve your user login problem, but it's a good guide
nonetheless. I did a similar thing in a cybercaf� I admin, but the machine
was turned off every night and logged in the next morning.

...then the PHB's brother (old school networking type) realised it was
running Linux and kicked up a fuss. Lucky for me the PHB said, "But that's
our most reliable machine!"

Of course, the hard drive had to die then didn't it?
