I ran mandatory profiles. Redirecting it to the home directories
allowed the users to install their own extensions and themes to
Firefox which gave them a sense of personalization in the mandatory
profile. I would have killed a user who installed a plug in with IE
but so far, the firefox extensions appear to be safe and not a trojan
for spyware etc. Plus it isolates it to the user who installed it and
not the whole server. There's a trick IE should learn.
the cache was not a big deal. I wasn't running it for thousands of
users or anything.
