A fat client only runs with a limited copy of /etc/passwd, so even if the user is an administrator on the server, they won't be able to add/remove/change accounts. One way around this would be to set REMOTE_APPS=true in lts.conf and add a launcher for "ltsp-remoteapps gnome-control-center". Clicking on that launcher will start "gnome-control-center" from the server as it'd on a thin client which should let her manage accounts. -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com
