I'm trying to use the LTSP project to support some diskless computers for the misterhouse project, www.misterhouse.net.
I basically have it working, the LTSP node boots from my main server and does most of what I need, except for a two problems. 1) The LTSP machine runs xinetd which allows me to telnet into the machine. I really need this. I can login as any user defined on my NIS server except for root. I have these lines in my LTSP i386/etc/root file. root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/tcsh bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin: +:::::: If I change this to (add "+" to root) +root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/tcsh bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin: +:::::: I can then login as root without any problem, however, subsequent boots fail to properly start xinetd and I cannot telnet to the machine. I need to always boot with the first setting, then change the setting to login as root. 2) I'm having trouble using startup scripts in my etc/rc.d directory with the RC_FILE_X entries in my lts.conf file. I know the scripts run because I can put echo debug statements in them. I launch various programs in the script, but they fail to start, I never see the processes. If I login to the LTSP unit as root (changing /etc/passw) and run the scripts manually, everything works as I expect. Can anyone help?
