To add support to LDM you would basically need to rewrite it, as the only authentication method uses ssh to the server (well, I guess it also has an RDP plugin, so maybe you could write another plugin). Instead, you'd want to switch to LightDM, GDM or KDM, and configure PAM to authenticate against LDAP. Supporting a standard display manager by using PAM is in the plans for LTSP6... but development on that is largely stalled at the moment; hope to stir up some activity on that soon. On Debian/Ubuntu, Currently, you pretty much need some hackish workarounds in lts.conf to support an alternate display manager: KEEP_SYSTEM_SERVICES=lightdm DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER=/usr/sbin/lightdm SCREEN_06=noaction And you need a simple script that does nothing on the client. /etc/ltsp/screen.d/noaction: #!/bin/sh echo pausing read pause > Of coarse I need to install some PAM modules in the chroot, and change > nsswitch.conf. Yup. Since LDAP implementations vary greatly, just find documentation on how to autenticate against LDAP for standalone disked workstations, and mimic the instructions on your fat client installation. It should work the same once you've gotten rid of LDM. > (As a second step in this project, I'd like the whole image to be > installed in a ram drive on the client, but that is something I can > discuss in later stages) That's trivial. I implemented a proof of concept in the Debian/Ubuntu's ltsp initramfs-tools init-bottom/ltsp hook. The variable to set is LTSP_NBD_TO_RAM=true. I don't think it can be set from lts.conf; might need to hard-code it in the initramfs-tools configuration. It could use some cleanup... live well, vagrant Thanks, Vagrant, that's EXACTLY what I wanted and needed to know!
