[Ltsp-discuss] Single user account and pam mount

2009-04-28 Thread Marius Flage
Hi there I've asked this question a couple of times on the IRC channel and mostly just gotten friendly abuse for having such a bad design as to only use one user account. So instead I ask this question here, where I can properly outline the reason why only one user account and also explain the

2009-04-28 Thread Jordan Erickson
Marius, I concur with this type of setup, though my thinking is that having a single user account with multiple simultaneous logins isn't a very good idea since multiple things are happening at the same time, which might confuse the server/PAM/applications. I might be wrong, but it just seems

What do you mean by small? The default is the smallest as far as I know - not even nfs or manpages are installed. So at least for the main distributions you won't get it much smaller - one way to do that might be to compile a custom kernel for your thin clients. 2009/4/28
