It all works. There is not a problem with TCM or the instructions online. The problem we were having was with Sabayon. Aptitude remove sabayon, the clients can log in. It is befuddling, but we also mount home over nfs, and we use /home/students, not just home. ? At any rate, I find that it works. Sorry for the confusion. Now, I do have to use the -auth switch, but that is when I log in remotely to the server. It was part of what I was doing last night when things broke. The server I help with is an hour away, 1.5 hours with traffic, and it sits behind a firewall. From home I type this to log into the firewall box and forward VNC traffic ssh -L 5900:IPADDRESSOFSERVER:5900 [EMAIL PROTECTED] and on the Edubuntu 7.10 LTSP server I type this, with -auth, to start the vnc server. sudo x11vnc -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -shared -forever -display :0 -auth is apparently important if a user is not already logged in. From my workstation I launch a vncviewer and connect to localhost. The connection is securely tunneled across Oahu to the server in the classroom. I still get disconnected and have to restart x11vnc after logging in, but it works. I can then view client desktops, also using x11vnc, with TCM. --scott -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
