Re: Problem starting diskless workstation

The problem you are discribing is probably that the user can't mount his 
home directory.
Add a user to the LTSP server and try to login. This way you will use 
the local home folder.
If this works, you should check if /skole/tjener/home0/... is mounted on 
the LTSP server.
If not check if automount is running or start it manually: 
/etc/init.d/automount start

do let everyone access via NFS:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-nfs-server-config-exports.html
It is redhat manual, but the config file is the same.
