Hi David,Hi.Sorry to ask what may seem to be a daft question, but do you have to make a dhcpd.conf entry for every LTSP workstation on a network? Can you just set all the options globally? I'm thinking of deploying this on a 10 user LAN to start with, but there will also be non-ltsp workstations on the LAN. I've just started experimenting with LTSP and am impressed, but am just wondering how people scale the configuration for larger networks with perhaps 40 terminals....keeping a track of mac addresses(!!!!)

A helpful Dieter Kroemer posted this to the list earlier this month. I think this is just what you are looking for:

Hallo all,
I edit dhcpd.conf with the following line:
shared-network WORKSTATIONS {
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.100;
if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient" {
filename "/lts/pxelinux.0"; }
else if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "Etherboot" {
filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1"; }
}
}
After doing this all my clients are working without problems - without
editing /ec/hosts lts.conf or anything else.
Is there nevertheless any reason to edit /etc/hosts or something else?
Kind regards
Dieter
