10:17	<vma> hello, how can i prevent all server users from appearing on the client? I tried to set PWMERGE_SUR="" but it didn't work.
10:17	Also, I don't quite understand the difference between PWMERGE_SUR and PWMERGE_DUR, what is "source" and "destination"?
10:28	<alkisg_web> vma, do you want to hide them from the login screen, or do you want to completely prohibit them from logging in to the clients?
10:28	<vma> prohibit
10:28	<alkisg_web> And you want to only allow a few of the users?
10:28	<vma> no, only local root
10:29	<alkisg_web> So you're not using SSHFS, no authentication etc, right?
10:29	<vma> it's a kiosk-like client
10:29	<alkisg_web> OK
10:29	Then you can completely bypass the pam functions
10:30	PAM_AUTH_TYPE=0 in ltsp.conf
10:31	<vma> will it prevent a local root from login too?
10:31	<alkisg_web> No
10:32	You're providing the root hash via ltsp.conf with sed, right?
10:32	<vma> yeah
10:32	<alkisg_web> OK, it should work fine then
10:32	<vma> ok ty
10:32	<alkisg_web> Note though it's best for kiosks to generate a local user and run the environment as the user
10:32	NOT as root
10:33	<vma> yeah i did that like in the wiki
10:33	i just want to keep root for troubleshooting
10:33	<alkisg_web> OK
