    Hi!

    Under Windows NT it using the policy editor it was very easy to
    effectively restrict users to certain applications, for instance just
    a web browser.

    To be more concrete: I would like to have a user which can only login
    into a graphical desktop and there only can start a web browser
    (firefox) and print from it.

    What would be the best/easiest way to do this under Debian? Could you
    provide me a pointer to some documentation (some kind of HOWTO) where
    the procedure you recommend is explained with some detail?

    Thanks a lot in advance!
