Thanks for the advice. But, now it will autologin to the console, but not a thin client! Where do I fix that?
Also, when I do log in as root, it automatically starts netscape, which is the behavior that I do want for the public user. It doesn't do that for public. Where do I look?
here is the end of kdmrc again:
[X-:*-Core] AllowNullPasswd=true AllowRootLogin=true AllowShutdown=Root AutoLoginSession=icewm NoPassEnable=true NoPassUsers=public
[X-:0-Core] AutoLoginEnable=true AutoLoginPass=public AutoLoginSession=icewm AutoLoginUser=public
[Xdmcp] Enable=true Willing=/usr/share/config/kdm/Xwilling Xaccess=/usr/share/config/kdm/Xaccess
Thanks again for your help -

You might consider using different usernames for each workstation. This prevents problems with mozilla. Then, having a section for each ws might be reasonable. Perhaps, one could use the $DISPLAY variable alternatively, not having to specify a lot of section...?
Also you should look at the KIOSK howto in the ltsp contribs, allowing you to kill all apps after a certain period of inactivity, so that users will find a fresh destop whenever they come to an unused terminal.

Look into kdmrc. The autologin stuff now is in the X-:0-Core - Section. Move it to the X-*-Core section (which does NOT ONLY affect the local display). That could be the missing bit...

However, I'm no expert with kdm config. Just some guessing.
