Thanks for your help in advance.
Yeah, that indeed won't work until LTSP upstream does the much anticipated move to libnss-ssh and libpam-sshauth. Until then your best bet is to create some kind of small GUI program on the server and run it with ltsp-remoteapps from the client. This requires REMOTE_APPS to be set to true in lts.conf. Then you can use something like: ltsp-remoteapps "xterm -e 'passwd'" Hope it helps. -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com
