I see this come up on the LTSP list every once in a while where a school wants to have everybody in the lab log in as "student". The consensus on that list is that it isn't worth the trouble to make that work. Better to tape a username and password to each monitor (student1 / password1 ; student2 / password2 ; etc). But I'm doubting that you'd want to do this. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
