If the object you wish to have no rotation has a Rigidbody applied just limit the rotation contraraints on the axis you require

Simplest way is to just use a script which makes your object always follow the position of another object. You don't need a rigidbody or a joint of any kind, just this script:

 var target : Transform;

 function LateUpdate()
 {
     transform.position = target.position;
 }

What does LateUpdate do?? Whats the difference between that and a normal Update??

LateUpdate updates after all the Updates have been run. The reason I'm using it here is because the assumption is that the 'target' will be moving in Update- this guarantees that the follow position won't lag behind a frame.
