Hi, We're having a strange issue with an LTSP install. The install consists of an LTSP server (v3.1.0) running on RedHat Enterprise 3 with approximately 10 diskless workstations accessing a GNOME desktop. This install has been in production for about 3 years and we've only seen this issue appear in the past week or so.
Recently, it was discovered that when a user logs off one of the diskless workstations, the console session (default graphical login) on the server gets broken. By that I mean that the "/tmp/.X11-unix/X0" socket and "/tmp/.X0-lock" file are removed from the LTPS server and the console session is effectively neutered since we can't launch any new windows. The session appears functional -- you can still move the mouse, access menus, etc. but you can't launch any applications. If you logoff or restart w/ CTRL+ALT+BKSP, the socket & lock files are re-created and all is well until another client system logs off. I've repeatedly tested this and it happens on logoff from any diskless workstation with any user account. I'm at a loss to explain why this is happening at all, nevermind why it has suddenly become a problem. We did perform an update of several packages on the server recently to bring it up to RHEL3 Update 8. However I cannot determine what is allowing the client sessions to affect the console session. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
