Re: [Ltsp-developer] Serious flaw in virtual-ltsp scripts

[Alkis G. <al...@gm...>]

`man lts.conf` and read about RM_SYSTEM_SERVICES there.
The services that are disabled by default on fat clients are listed in:
/usr/share/ltsp/init-ltsp.d/50-rm-system-services

I.e. you just need a line in your lts.conf to prevent all the additional 
services that you installed from running on thin/fat clients.
