Before copying you must set a password for vnc

#/usr/bin/vncpasswd

after setting the password then copy the password file into the ltsp-tree
with this line

#cp -R -p /root/.vnc /opt/ltsp/i386/root/

Don't forget to uncomment (remove the #) from the line x4_module_02=vnc in
lts.conf and then reboot your clients.

 ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/fl_teachertool" instead of  "%teachers

Yes, I should change that on my homepage. The /usr/local/sbin  dir is used
if you install it from the tarball. Yum puts it in /usr/sbin and there are
no capitals. Thanks for pointing that out.

Any suggestions?
