Without NSCM load balancing should happen when you log out. It should also happen if you restart the X server while it's at the greeter (Options->Reset, or similar, or Ctrl-Alt-BS-BS), or if the greeter session becomes detached (Ctrl-Power). If one machine gets, or keeps, all of the sessions then I'd check that the machines agree that they're in the same group, that they're both "online" and that they agree about network configuration and connectivity. Show us the output of 'utgstatus' and 'utpolicy' from both systems, and tell us which subnets the Sun Ray units live on. If that's good then I'd want to know more about the load on the machines. If the V440 is running with a high load because it's hosting some greedy applications then it won't try hard to get Sun Ray sessions. OttoM. __ ottomeister Disclaimer: These are my opinions.
