On another thought, my log-in screen is giving the wrong time. LTSP is great as you don;t need to individually manage thin clients. The this clients are essentially stateless. Adding a clock to the log-in screen with time derived from the thin clients breaks this, and adds state and management requirement to the thin clients. The clocks on the clients need to work, and be maintained.

I feel the clock should be disabled, by default, from the log-in screen, or be derived from the server.
