Wyse Terminals

October 10th, 2006

I have a couple of Wyse 3025 terminals to look after, which have been giving me some trouble, keeping the config off limits to curious minds.

First off i tried hiding the configuration from the menu. Logging in as admin everytime, that can easily be changed, so that didnt’ help much. Then I created a new user on the terminal itself, with nothing being shown when you enter the control panel. And also activated auto login.

The end result is the terminal starts up, automatically logins the restricted user and the user can’t change anything in the control panel. So hopefully no more changing the display from 800*600 to 1024*768 causing the old monitors not to display anything. No more changing the mouse speed to a crawl.

Only probelm might be to get logged in again as admin, since auto login is set for user. But then Crtl+G fixes that, well breaks it actually. Resets the terminal to factory defaults
