if you set LDM_GUESTLOGIN=True in lts.conf, there will be a button to click on that will automatically login with the hostname of the thin client, which should default user/password based on the ip address to ltsp20, ltsp21, ... ltsp255 for most setups without DNS on the thin-client network. a few related configuration options should be described here: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtspDocumentationUpstream that doesn't handle account and homedir creation, but at least gives you a simple and predictable user/passwd login. then you could experimental with some sort of skeleton home dir for users. the problem of course, is if there is user-specific data in the skeleton directory. good luck! live well, vagrant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
