I am trying to set up a kiosk mode system using a browser only in a JDS kiosk mode session. I tried to set things up with the instructions from ttp://blogs.sun.com/ThinkThin/entry/kiosk_mode_browser and when any kiosk mode session started the thin client would not start the session, it would reboot over and over.
I then tried /usr/local/bin/opera -kioskmode -nosplash -nomail -nomaillinks -noprint -nosave -nohotlist -nomenu -nodownload -nosession -kioskbuttons -kioskwindows http://www.sun.com and it worked fine except for one thing, when my kiosk user utkioxx connects and the browser starts, none of my settings are kept, meaning I set the homepage and the proxyweb server and when the browser starts in kiosk mode none of those settings are kepts. This is the same when I use mozilla or if I simply add /usr/firefox/firefox as an application in JDS, I have the homepage as set and I set the proxyweb server in options in each browser but it doesn't maintain those settings when the browser is ran in kiosk mode.

Everything seems to be working. I'm trying to follow the instructions on thinkthin blog to set up a firefox kiosk mode where the user only gets a browser. That seems to be working but it's not passing on the settings I enter for the proxy web server and the homepage.
