We've been doing some testing with lightdm + libpam-sshauth + libnss-sshsock over here and it mostly works. The current hack is available here if you want to test it out: https://github.com/opinsys/ltsp-lightdm libpam-ssauth and libnss-sshsock still have rough edges that need to be worked out. E.g. what to do with the control tunnel that is currently opened as root. With kerberos+ldap lightdm works quite nicely with the hack, so it should be possible to make it all work. The nice thing is that all that is required is a change in PAM stack. Here's what I wrote about the situation earlier on ltsp-developer: http://marc.info/?l=ltsp-developer&m=134425841703630&w=2 Currently the hack should work on any *DM. We really have no need to use anything else besides lightdm, but we've been trying to stay away from using any lightdm specific features. Because of this the session launching is also a bit hacky at the moment. I haven't yet checked how the RDP support in lightdm is implemented.
