|But what happens to the swap mounted on the server ?

  It would still be exported and allocated to the workstation.  There's no
need to unmount it, it's not a problem to the server.  If the client side o=
f a
NFS connection fails, nothing bad happens to the server.  The swap file on =
the
server would be allocated to the workstation just the same.

|And with local appl isn't the home mounted for rw that should be unmounted=
 befor

  If you're running local applications, it's a good idea to logout before
switching off the workstation.  But, again, a client side NFS failure is of=
 no
consequence to the server.

|Why dose the halt/init 6 has no efect on the workstation. Couldn't it beha=

?

  This could be added in the future, but LTSP is ok even without this, this=
 is
not necessary on thin clients.

|Since there are few things running at the workstation, this would be wery =
fast
|and based on lts.conf it shouldnt be hard to generate stop scripts for mou=

  You should first close your applications and logout first, then you can
switch off your workstation.  You don't need to be any concerned about what=
's
running on the thin client at that point.
