Re: How to create restricted users?

I still don't like the way I have to go to a terminal to edit a config
file, say /etc/fstab. Browsing to it and double clicking opens it in
an editor, but read-only. Damned annoying.

Use easyubuntu and install the nautilus scripts. You can then edit any file
as root. Also you can open a nautilus as root by right clicking the window
you're in.
