Gary,
I think you've got 2 different, unrelated problems:
1) The syslogd error is more of a warning. You need to configure
your syslogd to allow remote clients to send their log messages.
There are various ways to do this, depending on your distro.
It's a '-r' option to syslogd that allows remote logging.
For redhat and mdk (and possibly others), edit /etc/sysconfig/syslog
and add '-r' to the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS variable.
For Debian, you need to edit the /etc/init.d/sysklogd script, and
find the SYSLOGD variable, and add -r.
Then, restart syslogd.
2) The fatal server error is the Xserver dying. Looks like it can't
write to the /var directory, which is supposed to be a symlink to
/tmp, which is a ramdisk.
I've seen problems like this happen, when people remove the
/opt/ltsp/i386/var symlink, because they think it is broken.
If that's the case, then you need to re-create that symlink.
Something like:
cd /opt/ltsp/i386
ln -s /tmp/var var
If that's not the problem, then try setting 'SCREEN_01 = shell' in
lts.conf file, and see if you get a shell when you reboot the client.
From that shell, see if you have a /var directory, and see if it's
symlink pointing into /tmp.
Let us know what you find there.
That should get you moving towards a functional LTSP setup.
