the internet access was taken care of via a "bodge"

the DNS was pointed toa fake DNS server, so all DNS lookups will fail. I then added the websites stu needs to the HOSTS file on the PC, so lookups for just those sites will work

i actually fucked it up tho as i forgot to add maps.google.com so none of his "find us" pages worked

the thing auto-logs in as a std user, and calls a batch file which repeatedly funs iexplore in kiosk mode pointing to the website. if anyone closes iexplore the batch file relaunches it.

it's not actually restricted as such, if you know what youre doing you could get past most of it, but it's done so that to the average joe they wouldnt be able to play around so it should discourange anyone from poking firther.

plus the great thign about a thin client is that if a customer does fuck it up, you just reboot it and it's all back as it was working fine
