I would setup ssh-server in the thin client chroot and then copy the ssh pub key from your ltsp server to the chroot and add it to .ssh/authorized_keys in the chroot
rebuild the image and then you should be able to ssh in from server without issue and run any command --- Regards Dean Mumby Open Source Systems 91 McKechnie Street Harrismith 058 6221669 ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Trask" <dtr...@vcsvikings.org> To: edubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Sent: Monday, 12 December, 2011 5:06:09 PM Subject: Ok...I'm back...Autologin and shutting down/rebooting thin-clients remotely It's been a while. I've been out of the edubuntu loop (I was one of the original users) for a while as I've been using something else, but necessity and desire have brought me back. It's good to be back too. I've set up a test server and clients for 11.10 and have been playing around. iTalc does most of what I need. BUT... Here's what I need to do. For our youngest kids (kindergarten), I need to set the thin-clients to login automatically in the computer lab. Having them try to log in is simply too time consuming at that age. What I do now is set my lab to "auto-login" for the first period and then at the end of the period, I set it back to "normal login". I can figure out how to do it sorta' manually by having two copies of lts.conf and switching between them...one with autologin set up with ldm and one without. (I cannot just do the default autologin=true as the server is for the whole building and I'm simply trying to control one computer lab). Now...if there is a more elegant solution, I'm happy to try it. My issue is.... In order for my idea to work, I need to be able to physically reboot the thin-clients or they don't pick up the change in lts.conf. Is there a way to reboot and/or shut-down thin-clients? I would imagine if one can ssh into the thin-clients, then they can be rebooted...correct? Then perhaps I could script it? Any ideas and how-to's are welcome. (I could even use some tips on how to ssh into the clients) Thanks!
