disable web access via Konqueror

rastavideo · 01-06-2007, 10:46 PM

A customer wants to restrict web access to a small group of employees -- multiple user accounts on a shared office PC -- and they want the browser to be Firefox. Can I restrict Konqueror to just file management duties with no web access at all?

## thx

about 1 year ago i tried to use kiosk mode in kde and it didnt work as i had hoped but probably things have gone ahead and kiosk may solve your problem

rastavideo,
Did that solve your problem?

Where in Texas?

Located in Houston also.

Thx to all -- I found the solution in the general KDE documentation.

I edited kdeglobals to read

[KDE URL Restrictions]
rule_count=1
rule_1=open,,,,http,,,false

That prevents Konqueror from opening a web site.

Second question: how do I attach a group I have made to the firefox application? I need to give Firefox to just three users.

Sorry but I am rusty ...
