Package: ldm Version: 2:2.0.6-1~40.etch.0 Severity: important
After a lot of hours spent troubleshooting I have discovered that ldm (at least, could be other parts of ltsp as well) assumed that the user trying to login is using as bourne shell in the server machine. For example, line 71 if src/sshutils.c of ldm: sshcmd[i++] = "LANG=C"; Here ssh is hardcoded to set an environmental variable using this syntax which is not compatible with tcsh syntax (env LANG=C would be needed in that case). I tried changing the above but this only seemed to move the problem somewhere else. If I create two new users on the server where one user is using /bin/bash as login shell and one user is using /usr/bin/tcsh only the bash user is allowed to login.
