Hi John, open ($CHROOT)/usr/share/ldm/rc.d/X01-localapps find 2 "read" commands in lines 36 and 46 and replace them with "read -r" so that it doesn't interpret the backslashes.
I.e.: IFS=':' read -r LDM_USERNAME dummy pw_uid pw_gid pw_gecos LDM_HOME pw_shell <<EOF and: while IFS=':' read -r gr_name dummy gr_gid dummy; do If that works, file a bug report in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ltsp/ so that I can commit the fix.
