Osascript for remote login does not work with Leopard

Question

We are testing Leopard on one computer in our labs. The only problem so far is that the osascript that we use to remote login to the computers stopped working (although it works fine on the Tiger machines):
osascript <<EndOfMyScript
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "public"
keystroke tab
delay 0.5
keystroke return
keystroke tab
delay 0.5
keystroke return
keystroke return
end tell
EndOfMyScript
This is a public account with no user password. I've read the discussion below, but have not been able to tweak the command so that it works with Leopard. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'm having a similar problem - the script below works with my G5 iMacs running 10.4.9 but not the Intel iMacs running 10.4.8. It almost works - the username and password appear in the right boxes, so I run around the room pressing the Return key.
# This script when used with ASR Send UNIX command will login workstations at the LoginWindow.
# The script assumes that the cursor is focused in the Name field.
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "username"'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "password"'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke return'
