Re: [sabayon] Session time-out and clean-up with Sabayon and Pessulus?

["Sean Hammond" <sean hammond gmail com>]

Quick follow up, readng the Sabayon manual, it seems it allows me to
set many user settings as either 'default' or 'mandatory'. Does
mandatory mean that even if the user changes the setting, it will be
re-applied when they next login?

That would help a lot, allowing us to set the background, panel
configuration, browser settings etc. etc. as we want. We're basically
interested in GNOME settings and Firefox settings, and not really
bothered about other apps. There's still the question of logging them
out after 20 minutes, and deleting any files they create in the users
homedir, which sounds like maybe a job for pessulus.
