X01-localapps issues when using ldap on the client

[Julien Fayad]

When using LDAP on the client (FAT client in my case) the GID mapping for the user isn't being performed correctly (GID=1000 instead of the correct one).

This has side effects on processes running, for instance pulseaudio wouldn't be able to start because of that mismatch (unable to create secure directory /home/{username}/.config/pulse: permission denied)

Alkisg provided a fix on my instance of LTSP (by editing the X01-localapps file). I'm testing the fix now and so far so good, I think this should be pushed into the product soon.

Julien, can you try the attached patch and see if it works for you?

[Julien Fayad (julfen)]

After a week of testing on multiple stations/users this has proven to work well and cause no side effects.

Alkisg, are you going to push a commit?

[Alkis Georgopoulos (alkisg)]

Bennabiy, did you test the patch? Does it work for you? I was waiting for additional confirmation, because I think someone on IRC had mentioned a negative side on not adding users locally to the client, when using LDAP... though I don't remember what the down side was.

[Julien Fayad (julfen)]

Well by my side after almost a year of testing I can't spot a downside to this patch...

I've re-applied it with the latest update and it still does the job.

[Alkis Georgopoulos (alkisg)]

Sorry, I didn't commit this on time.
The issue doesn't apply to the new LTSP, so I'll just close it.
