Thanks. all. The TV I had in mind is a 32" Samsung Smart LED TV. It is only a stopgap until we get some furniture in that room 1. - local account 2. - my ldap account. The local account is for when I bring the system home and have not yet set up the VPN or when there are network problems. The LDAP account is auto logged in after I enter the encryption password. But, when the workstation locks the console. GDM does not accept the password for the ldap account. There is some setting that I missed somewhere, ldap.conf and nsswitch are set up correctly. The home directory automounts properly.
