Skip, Thanx for the tip. It didn't seem to make any difference (still not
autologging in) but that's an avenue I didn't know about so I'm exploring
it more. Is there anyway to find out what the server and client machines
thinks the client's entire hostname is? I've logged the client in with init
3 and hostname under the env is only listing as ws003. I'm going back
through all my ltsp configurations to re-check everything. Any chance you
know of a way to get more to show in any logs? There is a refernce in
/etc/X11/kdm/xdm-config to an error log in /var/log but I'm not seeing one.
I might be helpful if there was a way to see a log of what is going on
during login.
Thank
Rois
