(IANAG) I've never tried this, but maybe you could just reconfigure X so that it thinks you're using a one-button mouse? Of course, you'd also want to disable the keyboard-mouse-emulation functionality. Overall, it seems like a weird way to go about sidestepping configurability. There must be other ways to change settings (gnome-control-center, e16menuedit, e16keyedit, etc) without the middle button. I wonder, though, if disabling the middle-click is really the level of security you want. What if you just chmod u-w all the relevant dotfiles once you've gotten it set up the way you like? As for ssh, it does sound to me like AllowUsers and AllowGroups are the feature you're looking for. For something a little extra, you may also go so far as to only allow connections from your workstation in a few different ways: ignore users' host key files and only have your desktop's host key in the known_hosts\(2\)? file. TCP wrappers. ip\(chains|tables\) Disallow password logins and add a from= option in the authorized_keys\(2\)? file. Not that all of those are necessary in your case, but you should know that there are a number of ways to get whatever level of access control you desire with these systems working together. Vineet
