Hey,

Somehow this wasn't posted, so here it is again:

I need such an animal for the Mac that would protect public computers by deleting anything downloaded/installed at shutdown (thus returning said machine to its pristine state).

Windows has it. How about Mac?

--Thanks.

This sounds like a great idea. Anyone?
-why do you need it?

NetBooting, which is a Mac OS X Server feature, does this.

Check macosxlabs.org for some good info on tools like the one you want. The lab I work for will be using rsyncx and perhaps other tools.

Thanks for the help, but, unfortunately I still find nothing that would work on an single iMac in a public computer lab.

The search continues. There must be something out there. No?
