Actually no, ws is the prefix to ALL workstation hostnames. OpenLab doesn't just bundle the standard LTSP, we've enhanced it in a number of ways, and the installation is entirely non-interactive (e.g. it just works) - which is what our users wanted. Because we also develop the underlying distro, we know exactly what's where and how everything will be set up, so we use this advantage. For example our local device access is completely integrated with the user desktops. > > You may want to be more precise, just in case you have users with names > based on other users names (like "john" and "johndoe"). Well that was the short version, it's certainly possible to expand it in a number of ways, and I for one am open to suggestion. I had to come up with a solution, and it had a deadline so I did the quick version. > (I'd just put in the same script and forget about the exit because the > above already gives a result 0 or 1. That's true actually. I didn't have much time when I did this, it was litterally a ten-minute hack job about 6 months ago, and because it worked was never really enhanced further, as there was simply far more critical things keeping me and my team busy.
I actually agree however, that a multi-logon block like this ought to be an option at least in standard LTSP and if it's based on my system then I would feel a bit flattered and little else. The distribution is our gift-to-the-community work anyway, we earn our money in other things built around it - so if the community can take a bit of it, enhance it and use it then more power to them, for myself, the advantage of not having to maintain it in a vacuum. Everybody wins.
