Thanks Jake

With your help, I manage to solve my problem: I don't know why but /dev/vc/1 ... 64 are not visible from the server. So I have a script /etc/rc.d/terminal with just chmod a+rw /dev/vc/* called by RC_FILE in lts.conf

You are absolutely right with rsh, but my application is really special. My five workstations are without keyboard and have just to display each output of a flight simulator. Only the server has a keyboard for the instructor. So no security problem :)

My main concern is that rsh is not very secure; you may want to consider
ssh for any "remote commands" you need to give your workstations.

Other than that though, I think you can "chmod a+rw
/opt/ltsp/i386/dev/tty*", but this would affect all of your terminals.

Hope this helps,

I want to run a remote command from the server under normal user and copy the results on the workstation terminal. To do so I use remote command. for example:

rsh workstation_name ls ">>" /dev/tty1

It appears that /dev/tty1 -> vc/1
and vc/1 is crw---------- root root so access is denied!

How to access terminal from a normal user ?
