I have a RHEL5 4.2 setup that is working great. I would like 3 DTUs to automatically login using a different IDs without a smart card whenever it is plugged in or logged out of.
A pseudo kiosk mode, but I do not want to destroy the settings for the user, 
printers, OpenOffice register banner gone, etc.

This has proven to be a bit of a challenge for me, or am I missing the obvious? I realize I can tape the UID and passwd to the monitor......

You could try to set this up using the gdm autologin feature [1]. As described in the documentation, you can use a script to provide the autologin user name and that script could act based on $DISPLAY (you may need to use Sun Ray interfaces to find out the DTU associated to a display number).

You may want to modify the gdm-autologin PAM stack in /etc/pam.d by adding Sun Ray modules, but it should even work without that and the exact things to change depend on what behaviors you want.

Disclaimer: I haven't tried that myself yet.

Please report back how that worked out, if you try.
