Hello,
I was running LTSP in a Mandrake 9.1 server and 3 workstations. Local
application [EMAIL PROTECTED] It was working fine until 2 days ago when the server
motherboard died. Causa mortis: stuffed capacitors.
Since I could not make the installed system work with another board (I'm not
good enough with Linux) I had to do a reinstall. This time the most current
distro I had at hand was Fedora Core 1. So I installed it and as I was doing it
all fresh why not try the new LTSP 4.0?
Installation was mostly easy. Just a little confused about the kernel install.
After or before? Did it after.
Configuration was not all that hard. Now I can ping the workstations, can get
to a bash shell on then, but can't get into telnet session from the WS to the
server neither login from the server into the WS that is the only thing I need
since the WS do not have monitors and keyboards as they are just number
crunchers.
The message I get is connection refused:
-----------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ssh]# ssh w01
ssh: connect to host w01 port 22: Connection refused
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ssh]# telnet w01
Trying 192.168.0.4...
telnet: connect to address 192.168.0.4: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
----------------------------------------------------
I'm getting to the server session (also monitor less and dEskless) by ssh from
a Windows machine. Could this fact be impeding the correct authentication?
I followed the instructions about the ssh key in the documentation.
--------------------------------------------------
When I'm booting the WS I get the messages:
mounting root filesystem
doing the pivot_root
nfs: server 192.168.0.2 OK
nfs: server 192.168.0.2 not responding, still trying
--------------------------------------------------
The last two lines are repeated for some time until it gets to the bash prompt
and sometimes after that also. There are many other messages but unless there
is a log (which I couldn't find) I can't read and take note as they are too
fast.
There is one thing I suspect is causing problems. It is the NIS domain name
configuration. I don't know how to do it and if is it important. So I
configured the hosts with localdomain as the domain name:
------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# cat hosts
