Thanks Les for your interest!

The directories were mounted via nfs and setup in the exports file. When 
a user tried to access the home dir. via the xdmcp server1, for example, 
apps and files were not visible and much bugginess...server0 would crash 
complaining that X display 0 was already in use.

server0 = server 192.168.0.254 with /home (student folders)
server1 (192.168.0.253) = second LTSP with NFS set to mount 
192.168.0.254 /home

I'd appreciate any advice you might have on this problem.


Again, we want a central NFS /home for users and then N servers 
providing applications via ltsp using xdmcp chooser...

Ideally, I'll get some cheapo PIIIs with lots of RAM and tell my users 
when they log in that they should aim their XMDCP chooser at any server 
with fewer than X users... maximizing cheap hardware via the xdmcp 
chooser while maintaining centralized user /home directories is the goal.

many thanks for any and all help!
