[K12OSN] k12linux login issues

[David Hopkins]

The solution is iptables which I had turned off for testing ... adding
them back and enabling masquerading and now it works.

There are still a couple of things that are not quite right though
with FF, Totem, Java, Flash as a local app though.  The most annoying
is an error message everytime I launch FF as the local app. It is
apparently related dbus_launch and orbit files?  I am not sure how to
get around that though.  It started after I added Totem as the media
player (done so that I'd have the same media player as FC10 uses by
default).

But this is working much better even though it isn't exactly a
turn-key operation. Thanks for the excellent work!

Sincerely,
Dave Hopkins
