This is not such an issue, as it is unlikely to be that useful to be
logged in twice.
We are huge fans/users of LTSP, currently running 4.1, and hoping soon
to start trying 4.2. Thanks for the new release--we're especially
looking forward to the device support.
I just want to say, though, that being logged in two terminals at once
is rather common, at least for us, and very useful. (Or, more
precisely, it's very "unuseful" if this doesn't work well.) I have a
terminal at my desk, which I am typically logged into all the time. I
often will need to log into a terminal somewhere else in the building,
resulting in two simultaneous logins.
This is already problematic with both Mozilla/Firefox (can't run two
instances of one profile, so you need multiple profiles), and especially
OpenOffice (Opening document from second login causes document to open
on first login terminal.) These aren't LTSP issues of course, but I
hope that device support can be made to "just work" across simultaneous
logins.
Thanks again for the great software!

Your not kidding, boots so fast, superb. Can't wait to do a few more
installs/upgrades. Literally, I am doing one now.
LTSPFS is brilliant also, though I have found odd problems if one
person is logged in to two terminals, and tries to access media on
both. Sometimes the media disappears, others it doesn't appear in the
first place. This is not such an issue, as it is unlikely to be that
useful to be logged in twice.
There are a few problems with LTSP and floppy drives, unformatted
floppies seem to mean that no more floppies can then be used,
requiring a reset of the client. I have also had some problems with
writing, and will let this list know when I can pin down the exact
circumstances.
