 first check that /home is correctly exported from the NFS server by
 typing the exportfs command on the NFS server


second, log into the workstation (with an account you have created in
passwd)
and type df
bash-2.05# df

sure, all programs and files are on the server... 
on /opt/ltsp/i386/////
which is exported and mounted by the workstations

than with LOCAL_APPS on , the workstation launch all the daemons

you can check and verify this by login on the workstation
type df to see al the mounted volumes

type ps ax to see the running daemons
