We have used MacPrefect from HiResolution with a great deal of success.  It
is easy to setup, use and manage and best of all, it is transparent to the
user.  The Mac desktop retains it look and feel, yet can be locked down nice
and tight.

Also, going to Netware will help.  You can put manu of your applications on
your server, making it literally impossible to delete or change files.
