If the LTSP clients are only to run a telnet session, set lts.conf
For LSTP 4 it's SCREEN_nn = telnet and for LTSP3 it's RUNLEVEL = 4

If you want normal X sessions but telnet access, expect is your
friend (http://expect.nist.gov/) Buy Don Libes book as I'm pretty
sure that there is a telnet example in there; my booh is at home
today so I can't be sure.
