Captive Environment

[GaryCarr]

We would like to set up an account with a limited, captive 
environment. Basically we want the account to run an application when 
a user logs into it, and limit the user to only interacting with the 
application program.

Any ideas, or suggestions about where to look for information on 
doing something like this?

I haven't the answer to your question but if I try to install FC4 in a
P4 2.8 & Matrox G550 at the momet the installation program passed to
graphics, I see the screen as i were be drunken. All images are
"doubled" and moving the mouses's coursor (under this) the display
changes. My solution was, Install FC3!

I believe Matrox was pretty messed up by the GCC4 compilation bug. I 
left the bug report, but I believe the GCC4 problem and some PCI problem 
were fixed with later versions of xorg-x11. I don't know for sure though 
for Matrox.

The crapped out X that is on the install disc does make a very bad first 
impression though.
