Yeh, it's a feature and multiple/repeat logins has been discussed
before. It's in the archives.
The best solution for Years K,P & 1-3s, that has been proffered before
on this list, would be a kiosk arrangement whereby logins and passwords
are NOT needed. This has been discussed and can be found in the K12LTSP
archives. Look for kiosk.
Alternatively, I believe you could have the older students login with
specific user names but no password. Again, it's in the archives.
Catch 22: there is info in the archives about not getting good search
results from the archives. Doh! I seem to remember that the problem is
that it's case sensitive. HTH.
