I see many people advising Sabayon and Pessulus. However, there is some info I can't find.

I tried sabayon, a very nice tool btw, but when I quit I get a recoverable error and only part of my changes are applied. :confused:
Has anyone succeeded in locking down things by sabayon? How did you do that?

Another option would be using pessulus only, running from the user that has to be locked down. However, if I have locked down the menus, the terminal etc. Is there any way to undo the changes? If yes, How?

I'm having the exact same problems. I'm trying to lock down stuff for some computer lab machines.

Someone mentioned in another thread that the problem is with NX and it works much better using X or Xnest, but there was no clarification exactly on how to do this.

I had no NX installed when I was trying to make sabayon work, so that can't be the reason.

I now blocked a few things in a less 'advanced' way. I just put 'gksudo' in front of the commands of all programs I don't want another user to have acces to. And then I took away the admin rights of the user.
