Figure 3.10 General Lockdown Editor Settings
When the Lockdown Editor starts, it tries to connect to the GConf mandatory configu-
ration source (
xml:merged:$prefix/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory
).
If you run
pessulus
as
root
, you have access to this configuration source and a
lock icon is displayed next to the checkbox for each setting. Click the lock to specify
if the setting is mandatory. If the setting is mandatory, regular users will not be able to
change or override the setting. If you do not have access to the mandatory configuration
source, the lock icon does not appear. In this case, all disabled settings are stored in the
user's default configuration source and can be modified later using other tools such as
gconf-editor
or
gconftool-2
. For more information about GConf and
mandatory configuration sources see “Using GConf” [
http://library.gnome
.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/
] in the GNOME Desktop System
Administration Guide .
Click a category on the left to view the settings for this category that can be disabled.

To disable access to the command line, saving to disk and printing (or prevent
the user from modifying print settings) set the relevant options in the General
category.
