[K12OSN] re: smbldap CreatingLDAPClients & smbldap slow login (P Nakashima)

[P Nakashima]

I'm not sure. However, everything works on the Ubuntu fat client when I login as a "local" user. The smbldap home directory mounts and the gnome panels work. When I login as a "non-local" smbldap user, the panels don't work. Our users usually login via our thin clients to our Fedora based K12LTSP6 server. The Ubuntu fat client is a test box to see if I can add fat clients to our system, but still authenticate and mount home from our smbldap server. Could this Fedora/Ubuntu combination be part of the problem?

to the video card I had installed in that machine.  Are you sure this is
related to LDAP, or could it be hardware related?

It's weird because everything else seems to work fine. I can open, edit, and save OO.org documents. I can pretty much do anything that doesn't require panel based commands.
