Logging into virtual consoles on thin clients (ctrl-alt-f1)

You can only log in with any user specified in the /client's/ log-in
chain.
I don't know, how exactly it is with ltsp, but you should take a look
into /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/passwd. If the thin client uses this directly,
you'll need to chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 and then use adduser to add some
admin user for your debugging usage.

Other than that - don't let users use the virtual terminals as they
don't have access to the server's apps.

Greetings,
