we're going experiment ubuntu in school. can connect internet when point towards our proxy configuration script, works user.

of our 360 users not able change own proxy settings, there way define proxy settings users?

faced similar recently. using firefox went through proxy found had set each user. worse still user go , change it.

solution have works firefox, , started me finding following resource:

http://ilias.ca/blog/2005/03/locking...efox-settings/

lead me finding proxy preferences within firefox needed set. created mozilla.txt file following:

code:

lockpref("network.proxy.type", 1);  lockpref("network.proxy.http", "<insert proxy url here>");  lockpref("network.proxy.http_port", <insert proxy port here>);  lockpref("network.proxy.share_proxy_settings", true);  lockpref("network.proxy.no_proxies_on", "localhost, 127.0.0.1");

i used link in resource encode mozilla.cfg.

next thing find firefox lived in ubuntu. did using through terminal:

code:

sudo updatedb  locate all.js

i found our firefox lived in /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.13. placed mozilla.cfg file in /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.13. edited all.js file located in /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.13/greprefs add bottom:

code:

pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");

after restarted firefox see proxy read-only. true other users logged in as.

problem solution comes when firefox updated. you'll need go through process again there new firefox directory in /usr/lib.
