How to load ltspinfod

Morning folks,

I'm trying to get the ltspinfo thing running, but for example I get such 
answers:

# ltspinfo -h ws051 --shutdown
Couldn't open connection to ws051:9200: Invalid argument

This leads me to the few wiki indications saying I'd have to start the 
ltspinfod on each client.

The question is: How? 

Thanks for your help!

Rolf

Rolf,
   From the wiki: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtspinfoTips

In order to shutdown a LTSP client, do the following
     * Edit lts.conf and add ALLOW_SHUTDOWN = Y

Yes, Peter, but you got me wrong. Sorry, forgot to mention that OF 
COURSE I've put this into lts.conf before 

Nevertheless, it doesn't do what it's supposed to, but instead gives the 
error message.

Any other idea?

limiting website useage

I suspect, given the number of schools using ltsp, that I'm not the 
first one to need to do this, but here goes.

We are implementing ltsp on a much larger scale here at work and the 
collectors (I work at a collection agency) will need net access to go to 
various skiptracing sites (white pages, yellow pages, etc) but we'd like 
to prevent them from going to any other sites (you know . . . THOSE 
sites, but I think the idea is to have an allow list rather than a block 
list and to just assume that sites are blocked by default).

How have some of you set this up?  It would be easier if every user had 
their own /etc/hosts file, i think, but they all share one.  And I want 
to limit them individually (so the legal department, for example, has 
broader access than the collectors).

Thoughts?

Re: How to load ltspinfod

Rolf,

what version of LTSP are you using?

ltspinfod came with LTSP-4.0, and it should ALWAYS be running, 
regardless of whether 'ALLOW_SHUTDOWN' is set or not.  Setting 
'ALLOW_SHUTDOWN' simply enables additional capabilies of ltspinfod.

Try setting 'SCREEN_01 = shell', and reboot the client.  Then, do  'ps 
-e' and see if you find the ltspinfod process is running.

Re: limiting website useage

You can do this with squid, too.  I have several thin clients on our 
network that are limited just to certain websites.  They each have a 
whitelist of allowable sites, and everything else is blocked.  It can be 
done by IP or username.  You could enable squid transparently on your 
network to force all traffic to go through squid.  You can use dhcp to 
control the IP addresses.

Use a proxy like squid. has all the flexibility and power you need, is
fast and efficient.  the hosts file idea is just not a good idea.
Maintaining it will prove to be very labor intensive and its vulnerable
to more attacks from individuals within your company.

Oh, and limit the lawyers to only the pest extermination sites...

Have a look at clark connect.  It provides squid and dansguardian, it's easy 
to install and comes with a nice user interface.
