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, - Jake On Mon, Jan 20, 2003 at 08:08:10AM -0100, Chambard O wrote: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 ?
