Hi Valtteri,
yes, I've been thinking about using 'kiosk' but it not exactly matches
my profile
to be honest my configuration is a little bit weird ;)
the idea is to have configuration on the server and manage it from the
server (using puppet maybe) so I will not have to rebuild ltsp image
each time it changes
but with the hints from Alkis I think I will be able to achieve what I want
best,
Chris

Hi
You did not mention your users or anything about how they use the
client devices .
Autlogin on 100 device sounds like a kiosk environment to me. And
preventing changes sounds like a read only filesystem. There is a
screen script in ltsp package called 'kiosk' that creates a temporary
session for each login but you need to configure it to run a specific
program or task.
And there are propably hundred others kiosk setups in the internet
you can apply with or without ltsp
"Kiosk" means that clients should have same service and taste every
time. So you create session on the client environment first as a
template and then you configure it to be used (copied) and mounted on
tmpfs and cleanup it on logout or reboot.
first describe what applications your clients use?

Hello *
I have about 100 fat clients in production environment which have
the same configuration
The configuration is made with one user account and I auto-login
each fat client to this account
but I want to prevent users from making changes to configuration,
because now home directory is mounted via sshfs from the server by
each fat client
and each change in user config/files is visible on each fat client
I've been thinking about using overlayfs and ram/tmpfs to save
basic configuration
so that all local changes will disappear after the reboot
as far as I've learned LTSP don't support such functionality
but is it possible to achieve such scenario with some hacks?
or could you please tell me which script is responsible for
mounting home directories over sshfs?
best,
Chris
