Hey James,

AFAIK ltspinfo isn't in LTSP5. Would be nice to have some of those old 
tools, I miss good solid console-based tools. =) But my ntp/cron method 
is probably more secure anyway, from what I've heard, since 
ltspinfo/admin/etc always logged into the TC as root. Of course, I see 
the argument of if you're using SSH keys, it shouldn't be such a risk. 
Not sure - never worked much with < v5.
