Figure 5 3   Configuring users and groups with the Kiosk Admin Tool
Another interesting case happens when a user not listed in the Users section is 
part of different UNIX groups that are mapped to different profiles in the Groups 
section. In that case the profiles listed earlier will have higher priority. Last but not 
least, if a user is listed in the Users section only the profiles in this entry are taken 
into account (that is, the UNIX groups the user belongs to and which are mapped 
to profiles play no role in that case). 
Although all these rules are quite straightforward, a simple or even linear profile 
hierarchy will be sufficient in most cases. For example, you can design the 
default user profile first, add some features for a group needing more privileges, 
and so on. If there are groups not fitting in that hierarchy (in our case this could 
be the designer group), build their profile separately and either merge it with a 
profile in the first hierarchy or use it on its own.
A nice feature of the Kiosk Admin Tool is its remote configuration ability. In 
Figure 5 4 on page 95 you see how to map a local directory to a remote one (you 
can even change the base URL path). Files are transferred, for example, by the
