Why would you have problems with conflicting dhcpds. You can set up an existing dhcpd to serve net infos (among which ips) to your ltsp terminals. That's what I did, I had just to update my dhcpd server to a version 3.x so I can send options > 128 to some terminals with isa cards. I use a dhcpd and dns servers on one host (pre-existing server) and XDMCP, X, XFS, NFS and TFTF on another server (the ltsp server). Hope this helps. Fathi Ben Nasr
