[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#518806: lts.conf LDM_DIRECTX parameter not documented in /usr/share/doc/ltsp-server/lts-parameters.txt

[Tim Day]

Package: ltsp-server
Version: 5.1.10-2
Severity: minor


LTSP's lts.conf LDM_DIRECTX option appears to work as expected,
(bypasses ssh for post-login X11 network traffic)
but isn't listed in /usr/share/doc/ltsp-server/lts-parameters.txt.gz

Alternatively it might be argued the LDM_DIRECTX mode is horribly insecure
and shouldn't be provided!
