    Clear user profile on logoff or reboot

    I'm reinstalling PCs for public internet access:

    So far they were running Fedora 6 which is rather outdated, I'm swicthing them to SUSE 10.3

    The biggest problem was that Icons got messed up by users (call that PC is "not working" when there's no Firefox icon on desktop) and with reinstall they will get Skype (user passwords, history are sensitive) so I'd like a way to have profile cleared on logoff or at least on reboot.

    What I'm thinking of is setting up user profile, then once it's set up copy it to another profile. Then when a user logs off or on reboot the user profile gets deleted, clean profile gets copied over public user profile and permissions are set
    (chown, chmod)

    What is the best way for scripting this?

    Some of the things you want to do can be achieved by using the kiosktool.
