I ran the ssl upgrade provided via package manager on my dev-box
running Hardy and rebooted and found my thin clients locked out.
Bummer. Glad I didn't apply this against a production box.

Next I ran the commands Richard mentioned, but no joy there either. I
can log on to the box via the console but thin clients are locked out.

Anyone got a fix? Do I need to chroot to /opt/ltsp/ and rebuild the image??

Can we get an edubuntu specific fix figured out and posted to the wiki asap?
