Yey!!!
09:28
What was it?
09:28
<danboid>
I'm going to write a github bug report and let you decide how we best fix it I think.

<dan_>
alkisg, https://github.com/ltsp/ltsp/issues/646
10:17
alkisg, So I need to add what to ltsp.conf? PWMERGE_SUR=0 ?
10:18
That will fix the home dir issue too will it ie $MKHOMEDIR will get defined somehow?
10:23
I think this is documented in the pwmerge comments
10:26
<alkisg>
MKHOMEDIR should NOT be defined
10:26
It's an undocumented parameter to force LTSP to NOT create the home directory
10:33
<dan_>
So why is there code to create a home dir if it will never get triggered?
10:35
PWMERGE_SUR will hide local (and local only I hope) users that match its regex?
10:37
Can I give a a comma separated list too?
10:43
Hmm the pwmerge comments say these regexs define which accounts to merge whilst the ltsp.conf man page says these regexs hide users
10:44
There's only really one local user I need to hide from LTSP logins so I presume I just provide that as a literal string like
10:44
PWMERGE="MYUSER"
10:45
in ltsp.conf
10:59
Oops
10:59
PWMERGE_SUR="MYUSER"
10:59
In the clients section?
11:12
PWMERGE_SUR doesn't apply to LDAP users?
11:13
The man page doesn't mention LDAP/AD. It makes it sound like all users would be exluded but maybe it only applies to local users
11:14
The man page entry for PWMERGE_SUR that is
11:15
It would be good if every directive in the ltsp.conf man page stated which sections they can be used in
11:16
Not "would be good", users need to know
11:16
I think I'll open a ticket for that
11:22
<alkisg>
Dan just start writing pages in the wiki
11:23
there's no need to file tickets, I'm not planning to update anything, ltsp 22.04 is about to be released
11:26
<dan_>
PWMERGE_SUR only excludes local users, not LDAP?
11:27
ie I should be able to login as a user that matches PWMERGE_SUR regex via LDAP?
11:38
alkisg, PWMERGE_SUR would go in the [clients] section?
11:58
Yeah, it goes in the clients section
