Adding diskless workstations isn't needed -- unless you want to use an alternative to LDM (for LTSP clients). See the documentation for details. > Problem is when clients boot as thin clients, we get the home > directories and can see other users' directories above them, also new > files created are saved.

If LDM is used (which is the LTSP default), only the home directory of the logged in user is mounted (using sshfs), nothing else. So this is the expected behaviour. See the documentation for details how to use another DM like KDM, GDM or Lightdm along with NFS and automount. > Any new files created are lost after reboot. This is strange. Do you really mean files in the user's home directory? > Also, kerberos ticket is not renewing on clients. This is expected for diskless workstations as the login via LDM doesn't allow it. If needed, it can be renewed manually -- see the documentation. > Googled and tried a lot with no luck. I guess you'd be better off reading the Debian Edu documentation available locally via https://www in the Debian Edu network -- or try this all-in-one page: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Wheezy/AllInOne and use your browser's search function.
