| 20:11 | <eadthem_cor> Can all thinclients login to the LTSP server as the same account?
| |
| 20:11 | is it possable to have accounts auto created and then distroyed when they log out?
| |
| 20:12 | were planning to use LTSP for non profits 1 of which is at a prison half way house.
| |
| 20:12 | the issue is there will be a continuse string of pepole comeing thrue, and would prefer to not have to make accounts for everyone
| |
| 20:12 | manualy
| |
| 20:12 | <maldridge> eadthem_cor: you *can* log everything in as one account, but its generally considered to be a bad idea
| |
| 20:13 | <eadthem_cor> because they will be shareing the same XFCE config, and overwriting each other among other things?
| |
| 20:15 | <maldridge> well, more they will all be the same session
| |
| 20:15 | <eadthem_cor> i mean i want to do this so on first login there account is made
| |
| 20:15 | oh
| |
| 20:15 | khildin has left IRC (khildin!~khildin@ip-62-235-41-144.dial.scarlet.be, Remote host closed the connection) | |
| 20:16 | <eadthem_cor> and then if they dont log in for a long time the account is cleaned up
| |
| 20:16 | im sure the cleanup i can cron job that
| |
| 20:16 | but the auto account creation, that im not sure of
| |
| 20:16 | <maldridge> you could do it with a web page pretty easily
| |
| 20:16 | but its insecure
| |
| 20:17 | <eadthem_cor> i can secure a web page
| |
| 20:17 | but as for new users, ya the idea is anyone can walk up to it, and make a user
| |
| 20:18 | i mean part of me is also thinking i could make the accounts totaly wipe themselves on logout
| |
| 20:18 | and then they just need to use a thumbdrive for any personal files
| |
| 20:19 | <ogra_> you cant really use the same session for all clients ... if multiple users use the same app the app settings will get messed up
| |
| 20:19 | (and caches etc)
| |
| 20:20 | <eadthem_cor> that i have established
| |
| 20:20 | <ogra_> use one account per client
| |
| 20:20 | <maldridge> ogra_: I think he wants users to have actual accounts, but that get aged out
| |
| 20:20 | <ogra_> ah
| |
| 20:21 | <eadthem_cor> this is for a prisons halfway house setup
| |
| 20:21 | <ogra_> yeah, i didnt read all of the backlog :P
| |
| 20:21 | <eadthem_cor> they have had a lot of thefs and damaged computer equipment
| |
| 20:21 | so were working with them on a new method that only a cheep thinclient is at risk
| |
| 20:22 | or thats the idea
| |
| 20:22 | <maldridge> eadthem_cor: that sounds like an interesting idea, you could auto generate accounts without too much difficulty, and you can age them out without too much difficulty
| |
| 20:22 | <ogra_> right, and a diskless client is of no use without the server
| |
| 20:22 | <eadthem_cor> exactly
| |
| 20:23 | <maldridge> the problem you will run into is that you need at least one client that is always logged into your "account kiosk" that lets new users get accounts
| |
| 20:23 | <eadthem_cor> ok lets set aside individual accounts for a sec
| |
| 20:23 | how hard is it to make each client auto login there own account based on there mac or ip or something set before hand
| |
| 20:24 | because if that can be done, i can always script the part that wipes the accounts and resets everything on a timer.
| |
| 20:25 | <maldridge> eadthem_cor: not that hard
| |
| 20:25 | <eadthem_cor> k this helps give me some ideas of whats possable
| |
| 20:26 | <maldridge> eadthem_cor: you'll probably want to use some kind of configuration management so that you can programatically add the machines and users
| |
| 20:26 | i.e. you build out your config files in loops
| |
| 20:26 | <eadthem_cor> if someone puts a thumbdrive in the thin client to store personal stuff on, would that be automounted/
| |
| 20:26 | ?
| |
| 20:27 | <maldridge> depending on the format/DE, probably
| |
| 20:29 | <eadthem_cor> i woudl assume fat32 / ntfs
| |
| 20:34 | <maldridge> yeah, should work
