[TriLUG] Lock down Netscape

[Ryan Leathers]

Yep - tried this already.  Of course this prohibits permanent changes to
the configuration, but it doesn't prevent a number of settings from
being effected during the user's session.
The solution I'm hoping for not only prohibits change effecting future
use, but also hides the options I don't want users to see and pester
help-desk over.

try changing the owner of the config files in ~/.netscape/ to root and
setting the mode to 755.  that should allow netscape (running with
permissions of the user) to read the files but not modify them.  don't
know if netscape will run that way but it's worth a shot.
