One of the main goals for LTSP6 is to drop LDM entirely, and just use a
standard display manager (lightdm, GDM, KDM, etc.) using libpam-sshauth
and PAM authentication... and *ideally* be able to support other backends
such as LDAP...

This is primarily useful for fat clients and localapps, so that
applications, such as screenlockers, password changing programs,
etc. can authenticate and function properly.

It also will hopefully dramatically reduce the amount of code that we
develop as LTSP, and reuse more well tested code.

live well,
