is there a program I can use to login 50 computers in a lab, that use the same login and passwords, at the same time? Or is it possible to write a program to login an entire lab from one location?

Please let me know,

Thanks

I'm guessing you'd need at least administrator access for that, and even if you have that, I wouldn't know where to point you next. Out of curiosity, why do you need to log into 50 computers anyway?

you can use NIS, or LDAP to set up a user database, and then have X11 use te NIS/LDAP server to authenticate users.

Well, when students are in class and are using the lab, I need to log them in at a different profile which gives them special right. However, when there isn't a class, the students are supposed to login using their own login.
I'm wondering if i can write a program or run some application that can remotely login these computers for the class purpose. I appreciate your help.

I hope this is clear.

Let me know with your feedbacks

I'm hoping these are linux systems here...

Have an sshd client automatically run on all the computers in an ip range for the room. Then using open source remote ssh login code connect and then write the logins to the computers logging them into the network and starting x. (Note: Very insecure, hackers will have a field day and get classroom pass, make sure it's not that important to keep secret. Maybe even lock down the user account at certain times of the day.)
