10.04 LTS Netbook Files & Folder Entry Removal

Hi Luis,

If your talking about completely removing a user and their respective files / folders it's this:

sudo userdel -r [ user_name ]

where [ user_name ] is the name of the user you wish removed.

Thank you, but this is not what i am referring to. With Notebook Edition 10.4 in the main interface there is a left panel where applications and tools are listed and with the menu editor you can edit the contents and entries. In these entries you cannot delete de Folder Browser entry, which allows the user to browse the filesystem of the machine.

This is the entry I am referring to. This is not possible with the menu editor, since this tab is not shown.

Thank you!

Hi Luis,

Ok, understand what your after now. The only way I know to do what your asking, is to use a chroot / jail shell environment for each user. There are scripts available to assist in creating these automatically, but it does require more admin work.

Generally, unless the user has the sudo password, they cannot do much to the system besides browsing, but if you want to restrict them completely, then I think the chroot / jail shell approach is a viable solution.
