Rois,
I had the same problem with autologin. In fact, I had two machines setup as
LTSP servers, and on one of them autologin worked, while the other one did
not. Since the one that didn't work was my firewall server I blamed the it on
that security settings.
A couple of days ago, I got autologin working on both machines. The reason it
didn't work was because my test machine, ws003, was identified as
ws003.test.home because I added a domain suffix to my dhcpd.conf file (My
private LAN is test.home, while my public interface is .ne.client2.attbi.com.)
Look at your dhcpd.conf file and see if you are supplying an argument for
domain-name. Here's mine
============================================
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option domain-name-servers 24.218.0.228;
option domain-name "test.home";
============================================
If you are supplying a domain name, modify your kdmrc file to include the
domain name. Here's a snip from my kdmrc that works. I probably have
extraneous stuff in here, but I haven't removed anything yet to see what the
minimum entries are:
============================================
[X-ws003.test.home:*-Greeter]
NoUsers=adm,alias,amanda,apache,bin,bind,daemon,exim,falken,ftp,games,gdm,gopher,halt,httpd,ident,ingres,kmem,lp,mail,mailnull,man,mta,mysql,named,news,nobody,nscd,operator,pcap,pop,postfix,postgres,qmaild,qmaill,qmailp,qmailq,qmailr,qmails,reboot,root,rpc,rpcuser,rpm,sendmail,shutdown,sympa,sync,tty,uucp,xfs,xten,
PreselectUser=ws003
SessionTypes=KDE,Gnome,IceWM,Sawfish,failsafe,default
ShowUsers=ws003
SortUsers=true
StdFont=helvetica,12,5,15,50,0
Users=ws003
[X-ws003.test.home:0-Core]
AutoLoginEnable=true
AutoReLogin=true
AutoLoginUser=ws003
AutoLogin1st=true
============================================
Hope this is your problem,
