lucid unown user id LTSP user cant loggin

[David Hopkins]

I am using ubuntu 9.10 (karmic).  I held off upgrading because of some
concerns with moving to 10 immediately, including some issues with
ldap e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+bug/423252.
I plan to update production servers to 10 over the Christmas holidays
after getting a test server fully operational at 10.  With school
opening next week, I won't have that done till mid-Sept.

I know that when I first tried to get ldap working with 9.10, it
didn't ... I had to use purge to completely remove the packages and
then load them a second time.

I found the following brief discussion of DRI and how to disable it:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/558726

Sincerely,
Dave Hopkins
