Sounds like the chroot is not being entered by the TCs. They are instead
being routed to the full OS of the server. That's a config issue in the
LTSP setup in the OS being sent to the TCs. Double check your pxe boot
process and make sure it really is what's being loaded.

That /dev/ttyS0 is on the server not the TC. Basically, the touchscreen
serial port is not being sent back to the server like a mouse device. I
don't know if serial device data is supported. The serial mouse was dropped
from the kernel long before Fedora 9 days. I about cried as my wonderful
Kensington trackball was being discarded.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
