launch a script at login logout

[d.davolio at mastertraining.it]

If I understand well, it could be /opt/ltsp/<arch>/usr/share/ldm/rc.d/

Just because I just read the manual here 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ltsp/files/Docs-Admin-Guide/LTSPManual.pdf/download 
(Chapter 21, RC scripts).

Hope this can help.
