Auto Logon

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I am
setting up a small automation lab and using LTSP. I
would love to make an automation lab distro using
LTSP, but I would have no idea where to start. (Anyone
want to start a project?)(Be a good thing for
startups..nice and cheep)
As of now the thin-client boots up and a user logs on.
Everything is done manual at the moment except the
VMWare session. I have that start automatically by the
users /home/.xsession. Once the user is logged on a
full screen VMware session is launched. 
My lts.conf is set like this 

SCREEN_07=ldm
SCREEN_08=ldm
SCREEN_09=ldm

What I would like to do is have a user automatically
log on for each screen.
Each screen would then automatically launch a
different Vmware machine. (Good for development)

First question
.does auto logon even work? If I set up
the lts.conf as
[00:E0:81:27:D6:AE]
LDM_USERNAME=user
LDM_PASSWORD=password
The machine comes up and all I get is a black screen
with an x for the cursor. Are there error logs kept
anywhere? Also where is the lts-parameters.txt.gz so I
can see the examples? There is nothing in
opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/doc/ltsp-client/examples. (I’m
using Gusty)
I guess I should solve the auto logon problem before I
try to logon multiple accounts..ha
