http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Etch/HowTo/Desktop?action=logout&logout=logout#Changingkioskmodeondisklessworkstations The wiki reported to copy cp -rv /etc/kde-profile/ $LTSPCHROOT/etc/ cp -v /etc/kderc $LTSPCHROOT/etc/ cp -v /etc/kde-user-profile $LTSPCHROOT/etc/ but I can confirm this is not sufficient. Kiosktool uses also other file that need to be sincronized. I added to the wiki also these lines cp -rv /usr/share/debian-edu/students $LTSPCHROOT/usr/share/debian-edu/ cp -rv /usr/share/applications/ $LTSPCHROOT/usr/share/ but it might be necessary to copy some other files. I didn't have the time to test it very well but it worked for me. I think there should not be differences between diskless workstation and workstation (I mean about the file we need to copy). I think it is necessary a script that sincronize the kiostool files to the workstation. I didn't test kisoktool on workstation so please tell me if the sincronization of the configuration between the server and the workstation is managed in a differnet way. I was thinking to a small script to put into cron, something like rync -a tjenet:/etc/kde-profile/ /etc/ rync -a tjenet:/etc/kderc /etc/ rync -a tjenet:/etc/kde-user-profile /etc/ rync -a tjenet:/usr/share/debian-edu/students /usr/share/debian-edu/ rync -a tjenet:/usr/share/applications/ /usr/share/ but this require to be non interactive. That means to use a certificate and give the possibility to the client to connect to the server like root without password.
