Laurie, If you are using LTSP4, go through the erratta page for LTSP4 on LTSP website which tells you about the bug in parsing parameters in lts.conf. I faced similar problem earlier when all my clients were getting DEFAULT parameters and not the ones specific to them. I hope you are not experiencing the same problem.
