RE: On-Demand Web Browser

To limit client abilities, you can limit what they can do with graphical environment. For example, in a typical Gnome environment, you would create a user called "guest" and type this in /home/guest/.xsession :

Code:

/usr/bin/metacity & /usr/bin/firefox

Chmod .xsession as executable. Now on, only firefox will start when the guest user logs in. If the user closes firefox, a blank screen will show up.
Happy Browsing
