On an LTSP client, the Xserver is always running as root. It doesn't matter that you are logging in as a specific user. that's over on the server. The only time it will really make a difference is when running applications locally. If they try to write something into /tmp, there may be a permissions problem. > > > > > One thing that worries me though is that you are using LTSP-4.1, but you > > are mentioning files and configs that were from LTSP-3. > > > That's just me - sorry.

From LTSP 4.1 rc.sysinit, line 406: Yeah, rc.local is there, but it's not really part of ltsp. It's a file that can be created locally, and it won't be overwritten by an update of ltsp. I've seen problems when people install LTSP-4.1 on top of LTSP-3, and the old rc.local file is still there. Causes all sorts of problems. Either way, the /tmp directory problem should be fixed. I'll add it to the list.
