However, I see that the client has access to the 'logger' command. So one thought was to modify one of the 'local' syslog levels to record when someone logged in (in rc.local). The problem then being if they just turned off the client - no record of them logging out!
I have decided that instead I would use the /etc/hosts file since that contains all the clients IP addresses. First ping the address, and if it responds then use ltspinfo to check something like the RUNLEVEL. If this responds with a runlevel value then obviously the client is running linux via LTSP (and currently logged in since we only use runlevel 3), if it doesn't then the client is running something else (in our case it will be MS windows which rejects the connection).
