I was recently told a solution to getting fat client running under
hardy (which I have said doesn't currently work) is:
#vim /usr/bin/autologin.sh:
#!/bin/bash
CLIENT=(`ifconfig | grep Bcast | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d" " -f1`)
case "$CLIENT" in
"192.168.0.250") usuario=ws001;;
"192.168.0.249") usuario=ws002;;
esac
echo $usuario
This creates an autologin for hardy which seems to work, although I
have not tried it myself.
