This is my first post to cygwin and I would like to say, great product.
Background:
With all the recent Microsoft virii and code leaks we are slowly blocking
Windows based pcs from accessing the Internet. What we are doing is placing
a box running a Linux terminal server client beside every Windows box that
needs to access the Internet. This is beginning to get very cumbersome and a
huge headache.
What I desire. I wish to load a very small portion of Cygwin on each Windows
box. When the user clicks the icon it would then connect to the Linux
Terminal Server and launch $browser of choice. First off is this possible?
and if so can someone point me on how to make this happen. I do not want to
have to run the entire terminal client. Currently, what we have tested is
from the cygwin prompt we run 'X --query $LTSP:1' but this gives us the
entire terminal server and all I want the users to do is access a webbrowser.
Regards,
Chris
