You need to Setup NIS, I was facing the same problem some time ago. Read the NIS/NIS+ How to..www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/NIS-HOWTO.html and go according. make there are some ssh issues also. There is a link which will help you to do that.http://www.ltsp.org/ltsp-4.html#localapps
I also did xhost + on clients from the terminal. and for xmms sound i had to do something like chmod a+rw /dev/sound/dsp chmod a+rw /dev/sound/mixer and chmod a+rw /tmp and I am running Xmms,Mplayer Locally.
