I realised that I have been putting up with a small irritation in LTSP, 
assuming that it is a general issue, rather than being specific to me.

When my users get their password wrong, they get a "No response from server, 
restarting" error.  This then leads the user to bother me, thinking that the 
server is down.  They do generally get used to this over time, but it does 
make them feel that the system lacks polish.

This problem is compounded when the users are prompted to change their 
password, as it always seems to give this error, leading them to think that 
they haven't succeeded in changing their password.  They then try fruitlessly 
to use their old password as they "know" that they haven't succeeded in 
changing it.  I then get them to try their new password and of course that 
works.

I have some users who have yet to successfully change their password on their 
own, which does add to my workload.

I have tried googling, but, whilst there are loads of hits for "ltsp \"no 
response from server\"" of course these are not related to this more general 
issue of the message itself being rather misleading.

So is this just a general problem, or just Debian, or just us?  If it is a 
general problem, is there a solution or workaround?  Should I be logging a 
bug?
