Urgent help request! was how do you get something to run when a user logs on?
Hi John and everyone,
Thanks for this post, I am also looking for the solution too.
I am deploying a lab with Edubuntu LTSP in a school, we have W2K3 domain setup already, I have tried likewise on normal ubuntu, it joins the domain and everything is ok, but it seems that I don't have luck with Edubuntu LTSP, I am working on this and next step will be "how to map their home drive when they log on to the lab?".
Thanks for your help.
Ta.

Hi all,
I am two days away from the start of school and the problem I
described before still applies to me. If I can't figure this out I'll
have to put off my upgrade to 8.04 (or 8.10 perhaps) until December.
I'd really appreciate any help.
This issue is I want to run some scripts that up until now have been
called by /etc/profile. This has worked for me up through Edubuntu
7.04 The scripts use the system variables $HOME and $USER to map NFS
shares to users desktops. I understand from oli and others that the
image generated by 8.04 doesn't reference /etc/profile when users log
in.
When I tried calling these scripts from
/etc/X11/Xsession.d per Ollies suggestion the scripts didn't seem to
run, and in fact after accepting my credentials X just sent me back to
the login screen, *perhaps my syntax was incorrect. But I couldn't
find any debug information in the logs to trouble shoot the issue.
Where do I find more debug info?
francois suggestion about putting the lines in
/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/profile and then updating the image didn't work
either.
Below is the what I placed in my file called /etc/X11/Xsession.d/85-SetupHome:
#!/bin/sh
#
# SetupHome.sh
# * * * Clean up from previous session
#
# Sweep all files from $HOME and $HOME/Desktop to $HOME/Desktop/ZDrive
# *(ignores directories).
# Makes Desktop and ZDrive dir entries if needed.
#
# Name of desktop itself
dt=$HOME/Desktop
if [ ! -e $dt ]
then
* *mkdir $dt
fi
# Name of ZDrive on Desktop
zd=$dt/ZDrive
# Storage server, and pre-built index of students on the server
server=/mnt/ALLSTUDENTS
index=$server/index.students
# Make sure username is all lower case
user=`echo $USER | tr A-Z a-z`
# Zdrive does not exist, go figure it out
if [ ! -e $zd ]
then
* *# Search file server for this user's directory
* *if grep "/$user"'$' $index > /tmp/us$$
* *then
* * * *store=$server/`cat /tmp/us$$`
* *else
* * * *# N.B., must fix for y3k compatibility
* * * *store=$server/2*/$user
* *fi
* *rm -f /tmp/us$$
* *# Teachers, for instance, won't have storage on student fileserver
* *if [ -e $store ]
* *then
* * * *ln -s $store $zd
* *else
* * * *# No ZDrive available for this user, just quietly leave
* * * *exit 0
* *fi
fi
# If the user created files in the home directory, move them down
# to the Desktop
for src in "$HOME" "$dt"
do

Hi Vu,
We use win2k3 for authentication as well via winbind. We used to host
student files on a windows server and I believe we used the pam_mount
module to mount the shares on a per user basis
http://pam-mount.sourceforge.net/
Last year we moved the student files over to Linux and we are happy
with the results. Since we're in a mixed environment we can share
files with WindowsXP users via samba, with our LTSP clients via NFS
and even allow remote access via sftp.
I DO wish that /etc/profile would still work as it used to. I am sure
there are good reasons for moving to an image based approach (if
that's the right way to describe it) but I don't like the fact that it
breaks the way *nix has worked for 20 years or so.

Thank you for the info, John.
It is very helpful for a newbie. It is good when I am not alone with my idea.
Thanks and I'll get back with the results.

Hi guys, it's me again.
Just wonder with LTSP have you used Likewise to integrate with AD?
I can join the LTSP server to the domain but can not login with AD user.
