Here's what i did to have a telnet to thin client.
I didnt modify the xinetd part of telnet. whatever is put in there by ltsp kit, it is as it is. I put in a extra line in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.local as --
/usr/sbin/xinetd
This line starts the telnet daemon on the thin client. Telent service is there by default enabled in my xinetd directory
Next i copied the encrypted password from my systems /etc/shadow file and put it in the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/password file
so that the root user line in my password file looks like this --
root:$1$l4C6cUyE$q8uz9pDAZL7fgat7O1DE20:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
Also the shell at the end of line was /bin/true or something which i have changed it to /bin/bash
with these things done i can now telnet to any of the thin clients with username as root. All is do is telnet <IP of thin client> , login =root, password =my password
Hope this helps and gives you some hints as to how to go forward with your customised things

Hello, I am trying to boot some embedded controllers as LTS clients . They work without local display or keyboard. I need to login to them from a remote machine.
I tried to copy the "xinetd" and "in.telnetd" related files to "/opt/ltsp/i386", the NFS mounted root of the client.
Conencted a local display, logged into the client running a shell and started xinetd.
I get the error message "unknown user root"
The only service configured inside /etc/xinetd.d is telnet, as shown below. If I comment the line user=root , i get an error message that the user option is missing.
service telnet { disable = no flags = REUSE socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd log_on_failure += USERID }
Thanks for any help.
regards
Ajith
