Hello,

Thank you for the epoptes suggestion.  I do have it installed but I had not
thought to use it this way.  I would make sure to inform the user I would
be seeing their desktop prior to connecting.

X2Go directly to their LTSP client is an interesting idea.  I am not sure
how that would work - I would probably need their username and password
which is not something I want to do.

Thank you,
Joseph
