3.3.8 Locking Desktop Functions
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop ships with a graphical lockdown editor (
pessulus
package) that lets you disable (lockdown) certain desktop functions. This is useful if
you want to restrict the actions that users can perform on a computer. For example, you
might want to prevent command line operations on a computer that is for public use at
a trade show.
If the
pessulus
package is already installed, start the Lockdown Editor from the
main menu with Computer > Control Center > Look and Feel > Lockdown Editor or
press
Alt + F2 and enter
pessulus
.
