First, the workstation can't use h1 user information (remember that the workstation's /etc/passwd file is the one in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/passwd) unless you set up local apps and all of the stuff localapps require. If user h1 is signed in on the workstation, the workstation's X server will be using server:/home/h1/.Xauthority for its Xauth database. When you start a local app, the app must be able to read this file, so you must mount server:/home/h1 somewhere on the workstation and export XAUTH=/somewhere/.Xauthority before starting the local app. -- David Johnston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Little Bald Consulting, LLC ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
