[K12OSN] LTSP Netware Authentication

[Brad Johnson]

Hi Ben,

I had the same problem with edubuntu, and couldn't resolve the issue.  I 
can authenticate fine using Fedora.  Edubuntu uses LDM to authenticate, 
as opposed to GDM or others.  If I understand LDM correctly, it is 
wrapped in ssh, but I'm unsure why authentication won't work.
