I am trying to get a project to deploy it to an institution that houses people who aren't ready for the real world - ( not a University) so that they can do online work with a browser. The security aspects of disklessness, combined with the other advantages make it a natural fit.
I've got LTSP version 4 working on Redhat 9. It works great using gdm or vanilla xdm. No problem running problems on the server from the terminal. I want to run local apps (I only need to run a browser and a 3270 emulator) and I've got LTSP configured correctly, with the NIS and mounting home, and ssh configured right. Basic apps work fine (such as your example uptime) I got through the library problem all you talk about in http://www.ltsp.org/ltsp-4.html#localapps covered. - I'm using firefox, the lightweight Mozilla and when it comes up (ssh ws001 env DISPLAY=ws1:0.0 /usr/local/firefox) I get the Firefox Profile Manager and it gives me the option to select a profile. I select a profile, and get "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nslProfileInternal.currentProfile] I've tried straight xdm, gdm, no hint. Any ideas how to deal with this error?
