[K12OSN] LTSP Netware Authentication

[Willis, Ben]

Thanks for the info. I'm not sure if its good to hear because at least I know its not just me or if its bad to hear that I may not be able to get this to work.

The SSH session fails no matter what with an error number -669 in the auth.log file. Without the ssh session the thin client cannot log in. Surely someone in ubuntu or ltsp dev would want this to work given how much Netware still exists.

Hi Ben,

I had the same problem with edubuntu, and couldn't resolve the issue.  I 
can authenticate fine using Fedora.  Edubuntu uses LDM to authenticate, 
as opposed to GDM or others.  If I understand LDM correctly, it is 
wrapped in ssh, but I'm unsure why authentication won't work.
