Hi Caleb,

I found a link on the LTSP website that goes to little autologin download.

I'm going to compile it then test on a session.

What I intend to do is add this to an rcfile_xx entry for certain machines. 
This will take these terminlas from powerup through to a Win4Lin session. 
No intermediate login.

At present some of my users log into Linux which launches a fullscreen W4L 
session. They think they have a W98 machine logging on to an NT server! 
This is for teaching and admin staff.

In the lab I'll use the same approach initially, then when they look at web 
devlopment and stuff I can give them a Linux solution in about 10 minutes!

I'm using W4L as a bridging tool from Windows to Linux.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Cheers,
Bert
