  • The user login password is: thinclient
  • The thinclient OS is hacked to open a terminal as root when user logs in, from which a vnc connection to a workstation can be opened (run /home/user/start-linux.sh)
  • The workstations used are as follows:
    • veneon -> uqmd03
    • hermon -> uqmd05
    • taj -> uqmd13
  • On the workstations, the vncserver (Xvnc) runs from xinetd on a specific port (veneonvnc->5094, etc); this is configured from /etc/xinetd.d/{taj,veneon,...}vnc:

<source lang=cpp> service cradlevnc { disable = no socket-type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = nobody server = /usr/bin/Xvnc server_args = -inetd :1 -query localhost -geometry 640x480 -depth 24 -once -fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/ -securitytypes=none } </source>

  • Also GDM is set up
