Is this the best way do auto login on the Ubuntu 7.10?

1. First I did this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/161794/comments/29

2. After that I did this (in chroot):

root at ubuntu:/# wget 
http://ppa.launchpad.net/francis-giraldeau/ubuntu/pool/main/l/ltsp/ldm_5.0.39ubuntu1~fg4_i386.deb
--19:36:22--

           => `ldm_5.0.39ubuntu1~fg4_i386.deb'

3. And finally I added few lines for client.

asmok at ubuntu:~$ cat /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
[00:20:ed:bc:13:20]
LDM_USERNAME=ltsp001
LDM_PASSWORD=edu*****
asmok at ubuntu:~$

4. And then updated image (sudo ltsp-update-image).

5. Now that client can do auto login all by itself.
