[K12OSN] Running remote apps on ltsp?

[Petre Scheie]

I think you'll have to setup all the other users with ssh-with-no-password in 
order for them to be able to call SO by just clicking an icon.  So, perhaps this 
would work (this is off the top of my head) and I think you could script it:

As root on the linux box, do for each user
1. su - to user
2. ssh-keygen -t dsa
3. cd .ssh/
4. cp id_dsa.pub authorized_keys2
5. repeat for next user

Then you could nfs mount the user's home directories on the Solaris box.  I 
havent' tried this to verify it would work.  If it doesn't, then you'd have to 
replace step #4 with copying the id_dsa.pub key to 
solaris:/home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys2.

Or you could toss security to the wind and allow rsh and call SO via that.  But 
getting that set up would probably take as much work as doing it through ssh, so 
you might as well take the ssh route.
