I've done something like this. In /usr/share/ldm/rc.d/S00-guest-sessions
I put this line
case "$LDM_USERNAME" in
WipedUserHere*)
ssh -S "$LDM_SOCKET" "$LDM_SERVER" 'cd; rsync -av --delete /etc/backups$
;;
esac
then I keep copies of the the home directories in /etc/backup
When the LTSP client boots it syncs the current directory with it's matching
backup dir in /etc/backup
This has been working quite well.

Hi g,
we have the same question in one of our networks. We provide guest accounts.

well, we took a different approach. We simply use pam-scripts to create
home-dirs on login and remove them again on logout.
If there is a possibility to do this with tmpfs in ltsp this would be
nice. But be aware: a user only has to download or copy any big file and
your ram will not be sufficient.
Regards
Jan
