Hi again, When you say auto-login do you mean that the user does not have to enter in their username or password? I just would like the GDM to start and ask the user for their login details, is that possible?

I was unaware of the fact that the fat client plugin does not work under Hardy, so my apologies. Maybe: http://www.nubae.com/ltsp-linux-terminal-server-project-netbooted-fat-client -for-ubuntu-hardy-and-intrepid needs to be updated? Is the autologin.sh to replace the startgdm.sh or as well as?
