Hello, Does someone has an idea about this: - login as user 'kiosk' into FreeBSD and getting a desktop in (for example KDE); - launch a graphical MUA (for example Kmail, or a browser) which supports more than one identity, let's say <user1@Sisis.de>, <user2@Sisis.de> and so on, and each user must somehow authenticate itself for the usage of its identity, at least by typing in the password for this identity; - the MUA is fetching by POP3 or IMAP the mail from some host or the underlaying FreeBSD, but they don't get mixed-up with the mails of the other identities in the folders of the MUA; The background idea is just to use the desktop, i.e. loged in once, as a kiosk for reading/writing mails of a group of people.
