Steve,

lts.conf (found in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/) will let you define
an account auto to automatically log in under
the options you're interested in are:
LDM_USERNAME
          string, default unset
          This is the username that LDM will use for autologin.

      LDM_PASSWORD
          string, default unset
          This is the password that LDM will use for autologin.

To have each user apply to a single TC add the options to lts.conf
under a section for the MAC address of the client
ex:
[00:26:B9:B2:F1:7D]
LDM_USERNAME=user1
LDM_PASSWORD=password1

[some other mac address]
LDM_USERNAME=user2
LDM_PASSWORD=password2
