Re: [Ltsp-discuss] LTSP 5 on Ubuntu with nvidia client

2007-07-30 Thread Gideon Romm
Ubuntu keeps the nvidia driver in restricted drivers. You need to install the restricted drivers for the kernel into the chroot. LTSP5's chroot uses apt. You should be able to do something like: sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get install nvidia-glx and it will bring it all in. -GR On Fri

We have had this question arise in the past with our users. The *best* option, in our opinion, is to prevent boot server spoofing at the switch level. A good Level 3 switch should you give the ability to not only filter by MAC which is a weak form of security, but also to permit dhcp-server traff

Francis, your post got me thinking. I am a big fan of SSH PKI. If a login manager could be made to require and id_dsa key, would that make the session more secure? Maybe the open source etherboot project could be made to require server identity before booting. One way an attack like this could h
