[SunHELP] does anyone how to make the netscape preference globally on Solaris?

[Jarrett Carver]

It depends on what you are talking about. If you just want a global proxy 
setting, simply post a file on a webserver that is a proxy config.

If you want to globally change Any or ALL of the user setting, it gets a bit 
more complicated. All preferences are stored in a javascript file called 
prefs.js. If you have centralized home directories, you could simply write a 
script that edits everyones prefs file.

More complex customizations of the actual browser are possible through the 
client customization kit found here:

http://wp.netscape.com/bisdev/distribution/customize.html

This also lets you SET certain preferences that will override the prefs.js 
or allow default prefs to BE overwritten.

It's been a few years since I've messed around with the stuff. Better info 
can be found at
