When you say "access" the ltsp server, what exactly do you mean.  Surely
any desktop can ssh to the ltsp server?

It does this by default.  The thin clients will PXE boot, other desktops
will not request booting information and will just get IP addresses as
normal.  When you say "access" do you mean a full X display running on the
server or just be able to ssh into it.  You should already be able to ssh
to it.
