Users in the LTSP-environment are authenticated on the server and their home
directories are mounted from the server. You don't need to create home
directories in the chroot.
ltsp-update-image removes everything from /home directory by default. The list
of files removed from the image is stored in the
"/etc/ltsp/ltsp-update-image.excludes" file on the server.

Did you create the user on the server? What do syslog and auth.log say?

Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] No home directory
It's been a while since I last had to install LTSP, and I've never done it
using Ubuntu 16.04 before, but things are going very wrong here and I hope
someone can help.
I've installed Ubuntu 16.04 and LTSP but the clients don't have home
directories. I have a machine assigned to opac30 in dhcp.conf:
host opac30 {
# info desk PC
hardware ethernet 00:0f:fe:33:8d:b9;
fixed-address 10.0.123.130;
filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
option host-name opac30;
}
In lts.conf:
[00:0f:fe:33:8d:b9]
# info desk PC
LDM_USERNAME=opac30
in the chroot I have a home directory:
/opt/ltsp/i386/home/opac30/
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 3 opac30 opac30 4096 May 16 09:22 .
drwxr-xr-x 32 root root 4096 May 16 09:22 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 opac30 opac30 220 Aug 31 2015 .bash_logout
-rw-r--r-- 1 opac30 opac30 3771 Aug 31 2015 .bashrc
drwxr-xr-x 3 opac30 opac30 4096 May 16 09:21 .config
-rw-r--r-- 1 opac30 opac30 655 Jun 24 2016 .profile
I created the image with ltsp-update-image i386
The client gets to the log-in screen, but the GUI can't get past that. If I
ctrl-alt-f1 I can log in, but there is no home directory. /home/ is empty.
Doesn't `ltsp-update-image i386` build an image using /opt/ltsp/i386/ ?
