Everything appears to be working, except that upon login, users do not have any metacity window controls (close, minimise, maximise, etc.). Metacity loads fine from the terminal on the client, but it does not do so automatically upon login as it should. I have tested this even with a fresh user configuration. Any ideas on how to fix this (other than making a logon script to start metacity... this will work as a stop-gap, but does not address the problem as to why it is not loading as it should)? Thanks in advance!  <div dir="ltr"> <div> Mathieu Pelletier Biblical Studies Department Theological College of Zimbabwe Tel: +263 9 287032/3 Ext: 214 <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:mpelletier@tcz.co.zw">mpelletier@tcz.co.zw</a> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.tczonline.com">www.tczonline.com</a> </div> <div style="padding: 10px 0pt 5px; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3px;">Chat <img moz-do-not-send="true" src="http://www.images.wisestamp.com/gtalk.png" style="vertical-align: middle; padding-right: 5px;" alt="" height="16" width="16">Google Talk: mkpelletier <img moz-do-not-send="true" src="http://www.images.wisestamp.com/skype.png" style="vertical-align: middle; padding-right: 5px;" alt="" height="16" width="16">Skype: mathieu.pelletier</div> </div>  <blockquote cite="mid:mailman.7.1287936003.7170.k12osn@redhat.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Send K12OSN mailing list submissions to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:k12osn@redhat.com">k12osn@redhat.com</a> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:k12osn-request@redhat.com">k12osn-request@redhat.com</a> You can reach the person managing the list at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:k12osn-owner@redhat.com">k12osn-owner@redhat.com</a> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of K12OSN digest..."

Did you hand edit the perms of home folders,etc? Here is a very good how to on setting this up via the gui contained in Centos 5 (if this is the OS you are using). <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.linuxmail.info/active-directory-integration-samba-centos-5/">http://www.linuxmail.info/active-directory-integration-samba-centos-5/</a> Without a doubt a pam module has gotten clobbered, once you get the dreaded "try and log on with this configuration"..or something to that effect. (The voice of experience speaking here). WEBMIN works very well for bringing all your Samba and Linux to authenticate to a Windows 2003 server and the like. Let us know your progress.

I have seen as of late several low cost TC's that can be gotten with onboard wireless modules. I'm not smart enough,but wonder if anyone would be able to figure something out in a script to add to the rc.d folder of the ltsp root,that would simply initialize the onboard wifi of the TC, and try and scan 'the area' for any available AP,and connect to it transparently at boot time of the TC. This would be one more nice uncluttering feature of the classroom to pitch TC's,,,:). With the miriad of ever changing wireless onboard chips and changing specifications,I am sure this would be a very big challenge to make it actually happen. Ideas?
