Auto Login - Hiding Directories - Local Device Access

[Ian Moore]

Hello,

 I am helping setup a computer system for Friends of the Earth in 
Birmingham UK.

 I have 3 questions.

 1. Similar to what Jonathan D. Proulx asked on Jan 24 this year....


  How do you configure a particular machine to auto login without a 
password? I am hoping to setup a machine in our Vegetarian Cafe for the 
public to surf on. So I didn't want any password or user login.

2. Related to the question above how do you setup a machine so that only 
their home directory is accessible and they cant see anything else? Do I 
need to create a seperate group for the cafe surf box and then chmod the 
other top directories on the system to not have rwx access privileges 
rights to this particular group ?

3. Local device access - Some of the PC's in our building are 
distributed around the place so we could really do with LDA running. 
Were using the 6.06 Dapper edbubuntu I think because it includes 
long-term support. I've tried Edgy Eft 6.10 and have got the LDA working 
easy. However I think our computer guru who's overseeing the system  
wants 6.06. I have found some info regarding getting this working at

  http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LTSP-42-LocalDev

 However this is specifically for 5.10 breezy badger.

 I have tried following the instructions but have not had much success. 
Does anyone know of any instructions for getting LDA to work on 6.06.


  Thanks

  Ian
