[LUAU] k12ltsp desktop

[Ted Kanemori]

Yes, all the clients are booted off the server.
Having an individual login would require getting the student names of the
school system (like Liholiho did) and keeping it current (the student's
names change from semester to semester).
Being that they do not have a Tech Coordinator, we're trying to keep it
basic. Multiple classes use the lab and they are using the same generic
profiles for now (studentXX/studentXX).

As for "guarding the system", kids will be kids,,,,, bless them all.

Hmm, aren't all the student machines booted from the server?

A lot of good learning comes from exactly this kind of hacking.   
Perhaps a way such that studentXXX can
have her/his own login?

The normal course of events here is that you take the ones who are good 
at hacking, and give them the task of guarding the system.
