No.. not the user logged in. But, you are right about the lack of real benefit of dhcp-dns-dynamic-update for LTSP client. But, since the LTSP network and the rest of the network are in the same physical network, he still wants the dhcp-dns-dynamic-update (for the rest of the network). For the rest of the network, this feature is really needed (based on MS Domain Controller feature). So, yes, I will still try to figure it out how to make dhcp-dns-dynamic-update works for LSTP5. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 09:48:56 up 2:13, 2.6.20-15-generic GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org
