Subject: Linux Kiosks
From: Dennis Aligno (dalignoHOTMAIL.COM)

Hello. I'm building Linux Kiosks for our library using fvwm and netscape.
Everything is working fine except for security issues. Everything is run
under root, and a simple alt+o and typing "telnet:" (there could be others,
but this is the one i tried and worked the first time) gives you instant
root shell.

Is there a way to make it boot into regular user, as opposed to root, and
then run the kiosk from there? Or is there a way to disable the hotkeys for
netscape?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
