LTSP doesn't contain a /etc/shadow, because it was never intended that
you'd actually log into the client. There's not much to do on the client
anyway.
But, what people have done, is setup ssh with their public key to allow
them to log in using a pass-phrase, instead of a pass word.
On the server, you'd need to generate your public/private keypair, using
something like
'ssh-keygen -t dsa'
That will create the key pair. You can choose to put a passphrase on it
at this time, or you can leave the passphrase blank (not recommended).
This will leave your public and private key files in roots .ssh directory.
in /opt/ltsp/i386/root, create a .ssh directory and make it mode 0700 and
owned by root with group root.
create a file called 'authorized_keys' in that directory, and insert the
contents of the id_dsa.pub file into that new file. Make sure the
ownership of that file is root:root, and set the mode to 0644.
If that's all setup properly, and you have sshd running on the client,
then you should be able to ssh into the client using something like:
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It should prompt you for a passphrase and you should then get a shell prompt.
Hope that helps,
