<div dir="ltr">Hi John and everyone, Thanks for this post, I am also looking for the solution too. I am deploying a lab with Edubuntu LTSP in a school, we have W2K3 domain setup already, I have tried likewise on normal ubuntu, it joins the domain and everything is ok, but it seems that I don't have luck with Edubuntu LTSP, I am working on this and next step will be "how to map their home drive when they log on to the lab?". Thanks for your help.

If I can't figure this out I'll have to put off my upgrade to 8.04 (or 8.10 perhaps) until December. I'd really appreciate any help. This issue is I want to run some scripts that up until now have been called by /etc/profile. This has worked for me up through Edubuntu 7.04 The scripts use the system variables $HOME and $USER to map NFS shares to users desktops. I understand from oli and others that the image generated by 8.04 doesn't reference /etc/profile when users log in. When I tried calling these scripts from /etc/X11/Xsession.d per Ollies suggestion the scripts didn't seem to run, and in fact after accepting my credentials X just sent me back to the login screen,  perhaps my syntax was incorrect. But I couldn't find any debug information in the logs to trouble shoot the issue. Where do I find more debug info? francois suggestion about putting the lines in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/profile and then updating the image didn't work either. Below is the what I placed in my file called /etc/X11/Xsession.d/85-SetupHome: #!/bin/sh # # SetupHome.sh #       Clean up from previous session # # Sweep all files from $HOME and $HOME/Desktop to $HOME/Desktop/ZDrive #  (ignores directories). # Makes Desktop and ZDrive dir entries if needed. # # Name of desktop itself dt=$HOME/Desktop if [ ! -e $dt ] then    mkdir $dt fi # Name of ZDrive on Desktop zd=$dt/ZDrive # Storage server, and pre-built index of students on the server server=/mnt/ALLSTUDENTS index=$server/index.students # Make sure username is all lower case user=`echo $USER | tr A-Z a-z` # Zdrive does not exist, go figure it out if [ ! -e $zd ] then    # Search file server for this user's directory    if grep "/$user"'$' $index > /tmp/us$$    then        store=$server/`cat /tmp/us$$`    else        # N.B., must fix for y3k compatibility        store=$server/2*/$user    fi    rm -f /tmp/us$$    # Teachers, for instance, won't have storage on student fileserver    if [ -e $store ]    then        ln -s $store $zd    else        # No ZDrive available for this user, just quietly leave        exit 0    fi fi # If the user created files in the home directory, move them down # to the Desktop for src in "$HOME" "$dt" do    # Walk entries in this dir    cd $src    for x in *    do        # Only process *files* in this dir        if [ -f "$x" ]        then            # Calculate default destination            dest="$zd/$x"            # Oops, already there, concatenate an index number            if [ -e "$dest" ]            then                # Start with <foo>_0, and count up until an opening is found                count=0                dest2="$zd/$count""_$x"                while [ -e "$dest2" ]                do                    count=`expr $count + 1`                    dest2="$zd/$count""_$x"                done                cp "$x" "$dest2" && rm -f "$x"            else                cp "$x" "$dest" && rm -f "$x"            fi        fi    done done exit 0 On Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 8:27 AM, Oliver Grawert <<a href="mailto:ogra@ubuntu.com">ogra@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote: > hi, > On Do, 2008-08-28 at 08:03 -0700, john wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> I was wondering where I can put scripts that I want to run when a user >> logs on to a thin client.
