Hi folks,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to lock down the settings on Firefox
on Ubuntu 8.04?
Basically I'm nearly done setting up an LTSP Server and I want to make
sure that no one who logs on can fiddle with the settings. I've got
Tinyproxy and Dansguardian installed and working but only if I manually
specify the proxy settings. I found something about entering some
settings in /usr/lib/firefox/firefox.cfg which I have entered (details
here: http://m.linuxjournal.com/article/9044) but I'm finding I can
enable and disable the Firefox proxy settings and alter the rest of the
settings as I please.
I did try Firehol to force the proxy transparently but it stopped the
LTSP clients from booting unless I enabled a whole lot of ports on the
Firehol configuration (I got so far but got stuck on the nbd ports).
Just wondering if anyone knows how to do this?
Ta,
Rob
