William,
Yes, there is a way.
Anything you pass on the kernel commandline that doesn't get sucked up
by the kernel will be passed on to the /sbin/init program, and it will
become available to any 'init' scripts that are specified in the inittab
file.
So, if you are using Etherboot, you can set option-128 and 129 to pass
your options 'CLIENTID=A', and then you can see that in the rc scripts,
like 'rc.sysinit' as $CLIENTID.
If you are using PXE, then you'd have to create a separate PXE config
file for each workstation.
There's more info about passing kernel commandlines on the LTSP wiki.
The URL is:
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/KernelOptions
BUT, I'd strongly suggest you look at using something that is already
unique per client, like the hostname. With that, you don't have to pass
anything additional on the kernel cmdline.

Hi,
Is there any way to pass parameters into the ltsp clients, for example
i want to generate a file called /etc/client.conf during startup,
containing:
clientid = A
or, something similar like environment variables $CLIENTID="A"
