i had the same problem... i think (as said) that root uid is not exported via NIS , so i just put a good passwd to user root in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/passwd (with htpasswd for instance) --- root:kfrHRxxx4k:0:0:root ltsp:/root:/bin/bash bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin: +:::::: --- that 's maybe awfull but it works... i can now log as root on the ltsp client pc ML > > > > > > Is there something specific about root login on an > > > ltsp workstation? > > > > > > I realize I can muck with the root filesystem on > > > the server, but I'm thinking it might be easier > > > to install applications in the root filesystem > > > from the workstation, since the directory structure > > > looks familiar to what the applications typically > > > want to see for an install. > > > > Normally telnet is disabled for root access. > > > > Mike > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware > With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine. > WITHOUT REBOOTING!
