Hello & how should I set this up?

[Kym Z]

Hello all,

I've just joined this group, I am the bursar at a tiny Christian primary 
school in country South Australia.
We have made the move to using Edubuntu on the student computers over 
the last 2 years.  We are running Ubuntu server 9.10 on a file server 
and Edubuntu 10.04LTS on the student machines.   Also Clear OS for Proxy 
Server...
Unfortunately, at the moment, the student computers are set to start 
automatically with a local, generic account.  I would rather if the 
students had to "log-in" to their own account, with details stored on 
the server, in order to start the computer (so that all their files and 
settings will be available on any computer).  However, I don't know how 
to set this up - is there any documentation available about how to do 
this?  I don't think I want to set them up as LTSP since the server 
probably can't handle that, and some of the computers can also boot XP 
as an option...
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks,
Kym.
