[Ltsp-discuss] Dealing with multiple logins

2014-10-17 Thread Jaap Winius
Hi folks,

It appears we cannot prevent our Linux users from logging into  
multiple workstations simultaneously. Apparently, Windows terminal  
server systems can prevent this by automatically transferring the  
session from the last terminal to the next one as the user  
authenticates. It seems like a nice feature.

Can LTSP do this and are there any limitations involved in the process?

Thanks,

Jaap

Quoting Vagrant Cascadian vagr...@debian.org:

 You can get some of this sort of functionality by using xrdp on the
 server, combined with either LDM's RDP support, or the
 SCREEN_07=xfreerdp. ...

Perhaps I should add a few more details. I've never used LTSP, but  
find it very interesting. If I were running it, I'd be sure to use  
thin clients.

I was simply wondering if an LTSP system with thin clients could at  
all be configured to act the same way as a Windows terminal server  
system apparently can, in that users can be restricted to running only  
a single session that seems to follow them around from thin client to  
thin client, each time automatically killing the previous session.  
This is good for security and efficiency.

If this is possible with LTSP, one limitation might be that a single  
LTSP server must be involved. For it to work with multiple LTSP  
servers, those systems would have to communicate regarding any active  
user sessions and perform handovers; something that may not yet be  
possible.

Cheers,

Jaap
