Jim,
this is true on its face, but ... the DISPLAY variable is correct
on the lstp server named, say, "ltspl" and points to wsxxx. so far so
good. now on the workstation the user pops up the terminal window and
types "ssh -X myname@turtle". provided the keys and passphrases are
correct the user logs in on server "turtle". the DISPLAY variable on
turtle points to turtle:10.0, which is correct - the X forwarding is on.
what "turtle" doesn't know is which workstation is the X going to - this
is handled by 'ltspl' server. "turtle" needs the workstation name to
figure out the >printer< queues associated with this workstation. fun,
huh? my o'reilly book on ssh has nothing on how to pass an arbitrary value
to sshd server and have access to this value from the user environment.
the difficulty stems from the fact that i use ltsp server as a
stepping stone to the business system, not as an end point in itself.
thanks, julius
p.s. jim, those usb printers just churn on and on .....
