If your security requirements/standards allow it you can use either login or logout scripts (make sure they cannot be changed by the users, though). An elegant way might be using ramdisks. If you allow every user 100 MB you need 3 GB for 30 clients. Sounds feasible. > 2) Is there a workaround for not having separate user for every thin client? As much as I understand it the problem is not the users but their home directories. You could login all clients with the same username but you need separate directories otherwise many programs don't work well or not at all through ssh -X. Also note that on Ubuntu clients may access each others files if they share the username.
