Hi, Scott:
'What, more exactly, do you need? ' like:
On what network is the (kiosk) workstation (local, public, private) ?
Is the workstation is on the same network as the
'corporate web site' ?
Seems like a firewall using IPTABLES would suffice.
Restrict the network to only the IP address of the
'corporate web site'. Only allow port 80 (http).
Remove all uneeded applications
and services. I assume that most 'kiosks' are very much
like this. Did you find 'kiosk' examples that do not
meet your needs? If yes, what parts do not meet
your needs?
HTH, Chuck

Hi, Scott:
I am not sure about 'wisdom', but here is a thought.
How large is the 'specific web site' and how often does
the data change? Perhaps a local copy of the website
would suffice if the amount of data is small. Would an
image of the 'SWS' fit on a DVD/R?
How often does the data on the SWS change?
If seldom and the data is small (<4.7 GB), a local
DVD/R might work.
Or, perhaps the data returned from the SWS is
dynamic and this will not work.
You're right. That wouldn't work.
What, more exactly, do you need?
I need a workstation that can not be changed, in any way, by users, and
they need to access a corporate web site, and nothing else. That is all,
and nothing more.
Thanks just the same.
