KDE Kiosk Mode

[antik]

One of the more powerful aspects of the KDE desktop is the ability to customize the user experience completely. Most KDE programs use core features and plugins provided by the desktop system, creating a consistent user interface and easy-to-access configuration setup. One popular extension to this interface, known as KDE's Kiosk Mode, allows a system administrator to configure all aspects of the desktop for an end user and optionally prevent the end user from making modifications to the provided setup.

For restricting users from messing up entire desktop I found excellent tool:

Download Kiosktool source code (ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/apps/KDE3.x/admin/kiosktool-1.0.tar.bz2)and unpack it somewhere. Enter directory and:

# ./configure -with-boost-include-dir=/usr/local/include
# portinstall gmake # we need gmake to make binary
# rehash

I encoutered some problems with libtool but I resolved it like this:

# portinstall kdewebdev # install something KDE related
# rm libtool
# ln -s /usr/local/bin/lib/libtool . # don`t forget .(point) link to link current directory.
# gmake LDFLAGS=-lc_r
# gmake install

now you can run kiosktool.

Someone make PBI for this package, please.
