Re: Denver area anyone

Steven;

Wow ... I'd be really interested in knowing more about 
your setup, since I'm looking at designing a config to
handle several remote sites.

In particular, how do you handle the following:

Authentication
    Do you integrate with Windoze?  How?
    Do you use LDAP?

Monitoring/Management
    How do you keep track of and administer the servers?

Server Software Configuration
    How do you keep them up to date?

Web problems ala NTLM (MS Proxy server)
    Do you encounter issues with this?  If so, how
    do you deal with it?

I would also appreciate any info you could share about
problems encountered/solved with these and what your
users had to say about the overall environment.

Looking forward to your reply,

Tom

nfs doesn't work with ltsp, works fine otherwise

I've made a little headway in tracking down a problem in which pivot_root 
hangs forever with the follwoing message:

> eth0: Setting 100mbps full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability
> Mounting root filesystem: /opt/ltsp/i386 from: 192.168.1.100
> Doing the pivot_root
> nfs: server 192.168.1.100 not responding, still trying

Although the message says the nfs server isn't working, /var/log/messages on 
the server confirm that it is working fine.  Furthermore, booting the client 
into KNOPPIX and mounting /opt/ltsp/i386 works perfectly.  This seems to 
prove that the server is configured correctly and all the IP addresses are 
what I think they are.  What appears to be wrong is the error message.  Has 
anyone seen anything like this?

In the lts-Section I had to insert
	DOS=NOAUTO
to make it run.

How about this alternative?
http://www.vigor.nu/dxpc/

Using it would be a matter of including dxpc on the LTSP server and in 
the mini-linux distribution run by each client, and proxying X through 
dxpc.

Best regards, Ed

./start_ws: line 1: 273 Segmentation Fault ...

Hi all,

Anyone familiar with this?

./start_ws: line 1: 273 Segmentation Fault 
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -query 192.168.0.3

It boots fine up to the prompt (runlevel 3). Then when I when I 
run /tmp/start_ws I get a black screen. I then do an ALT-> and I 
find the output detailed above.

I've looked in previous posts and googled everywhere. Other 
posts have said to check the modelines for the monitor. I don't 
understand why this should be a problem. I'm using the same 
XF86config file that I used on the client when it booted from a 
harddisk.  I didn't have to provide modelines and it worked.

I had originally tried this with Slackware 9.0, my native 
distro. I figured that maybe I didn't install properly so I 
threw on an extra harddrive and installed Redhat 9 (first time 
using RH). Still got the same results.

I'm using the following ltsp packages:
ltsp_core-3.0.9-0.i386.rpm
ltsp_kernel-3.0.11-0.i386.rpm
ltsp_x_core-3.0.4-0.i386.rpm
ltsp_fonts-3.0.0-0.i386.rpm

Here's some hardware info...

If you have two, you need to compile SMP into your server's kernel, and
edit the kernels makefile such that the line reading
