Al,
	I set up an environment similar to what you describe a few months ago 
and remember (vaguely) messing with that, I seem to remember that you 
can specify what settings get "pushed" to each client, I think I did it 
by mac address (which is kind of a hassle if you have a lot of thin 
clients) but it may be a place to start. I have the ltsp docs saved so 
let me look through them...
