That looks like a reasonable solution alright.

Fair enough.  Once one has set a password on the thin client I guess it's
not _too_ bad, but it's nice to ask a teacher on the phone "can you tell me
the error on the screen".  

On another note, I see ldm appears to use blowfish, passing the ssh option:

	-c 'blowfish-cbc,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc'

which is presumably because blowfish is quickest without dropping too much
security?  I guess this lowers the thin client & server cpu usage?
