All,
From a different list, a similar request and the response from a Novell
SE... it sounded like a great way to ensure that common use machines
were not "abused":
> Zen For Desktops will do exactly what you are asking AND you do not
have to create users locally on the

a user on the fly to a workstation

Administrative rights to install or self-heal

to install as an Administrative user

install a software they can't! They will not
