Martin,
Are you certain that the workstation knows it's own hostname?
If the workstation doesn't know its hostname, then it won't be able to
read the specific sections from the lts.conf file.
Try setting: SCREEN_01 = shell
and boot the client. If you get a bash prompt, then type: hostname
and see what it says.
If it doesn't give you a shell prompt, then we know that it isn't
reading the [ws002] section.
In which case, you should read the wiki page on assigning hostnames via
dhcp:

Hi - I'm a newbie to using ltsp.
I run SuSE 10.0 OSS on a Celeron-600 with 384MB RAM.
Recently I installed ltsp and have managed to get two workstations
(both P1-120MHz) up and running, but not very well.
One of them [assigned ws002 by DHCP] has Windows 98 installed on the
Hard Disk, and an older, serial ball mouse on one of the COM ports
/dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1. The mouse is detected fine by windows, but
not by XDMCP, so I can't use a mouse for the thin terminal; I haven't
even thought seriously about trying to redirect sound yet!
In my /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ltsp.conf file, this particular workstation
includes a [ws002] section, with mouse sections setting the protocol
to Microsoft, the number of buttons to 2, and emulating 3 buttons.
The mouse device I have tried as both /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyS1. I
have played with the mode0 and mode1 lines to try to determine if the
.conf file is being read correctly, and it doesn't seem to be: I can
comment out the mode line for 800x600 resolution, enabling only the
640x480 resolution, and I still get X in 800x600.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a foolproof or idiot-proof way of
establishing that the ltsp.conf file is being read and used correctly?
