You don't need LTSP to test the user interface under Windows. Just use VNC on the LTSP server.
This also works well where Windows users just need to access some Linux apps.
1. Create a vnc session in /etc/xinetd.d/vnc on the server
service xvnc
{
disable = no
protocol = tcp
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd -query localhost -geometry 1000x700 -depth 16 -cc 3 -once
securitytypes=none -fp unix/:7100
}2. Add a line thus to /etc/services on the server xvnc 5950/tcp # VNC Service
Restart xinetd
Use the windows VNC client connecting to <server name>:50
Each connection will start a VNC session via the normal login daemon (gdm) and will last only for that session.
The performance is quite good and as many simultaneous sessions as the server has memory for can be handled.

Hi,
I'm new in LTSP.
Then, I downloaded and installed v. 4.1. All installation worked fine in my Fedora 2 kernel 2.6.5. I tried to look for FAQ but the link is broken: http://faq.ltsp.org/ Then, I look at http://www.ltsp.org/ltsp-4.1.html, but I didn't find answers for my questions.
My first doubt is:
1) isn't there a service/daemon of LTSP? I didn't find anything like "/etc/rc.d/init.d/ltspd start" or about running into inetd/xinetd, and I thought there wasn't a command to start LTSP into server machine. After all installation, running ltspcfg, generate lts.conf, I didn't know if the service was running or if it is started by a call to gdm, I'm very doubt with this.
2) suppose the server is running, I don't know how, but lets suppose... I didn't find a Windows Client for LTSP freeware, isn't there? I downloaded the X-Win32 demo, that runs for 30 minutes. Then, it opens a connection to the server, but with all window gray, no buttons, no shell, mouse moves but mouse clicks (left/right) don't work. Then, I tried to change lst.conf to change "startx" by "gnome-session" but the same behavior occurs.
3) Does Windows Clients for Windows TS (2000/NT4) work with LTSP? Is the LTSP port 3389 like WTS?
4) I'd like to do the following idea: when the user types the user/password into Linux login window, I have to run a graphical application automatically, with database access, printing reports, etc. Then, when the user goes out from the application, the terminal must be closed. Is this possible with LTSP?
Thanks for any help,
