Hello, I inherited a LTSP server and I can't understand how the auto-login part works. When the thin-client boots, it logs-in automaticaly.
The IP address is obtained via DHCP. The thin-clients are declared in static. In the lts.conf there is 'LDM_AUTOLOGIN = True' declaration. Of what I understand the thin client sets as hostname ltsp + the last octet of the IP address. The username exists in the shadow file on the server. I can't understand how all this works. How the thin client knows which password to use more precisely ? I would be greatful for any help on that topic.
