64bit server and 64 bit clients

[Nicolas Roussi]

Thanks for your reply. But my question was if it is possible to have both
chroot architectures (amd64 and i386) and have the client select which one
to boot from. Anyway, I created an i386 image and it the clients boot fine
and I can log in through the GDM. My problem though is that I cannot log in
to the thin client through the command line. I followed this guide:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdubuntuFAQ?action=show#head-285f03d2d3ed2f29847c7793dbdb8f1488814c1band
when I try to log in as root I get the error that my account is
expired.
Is there anyone that has a solution to this?

Thanks
