You can use a tool like the control panel to log in thin clients remotely on demand. The thin clients don't log themselves in and are available the rest of the time. 2. Thin clients login when you boot them to a specific account per machine. Neither is available out of the box. However, a little hacking work should be able to get you either. You could modify ldm and the boot process a little so it would login automatically if you specified a username and password in lts.conf. That would be [2]. I suspect [1] would be a little more involved. You could install sshd on the thin client chroot which would allow you control of it. Then there would be a bunch of different ways to get a login started on the thin client. All quite feasible though.
