as both the author of lessdisks and some code in ltsp, i'm glad to hear
it. :)

yes, we include a file there, so that it can be over-written with the
proper hostname, however we have not yet implemented any way to
configure /etc/hostname...

i generally prefer to use mac addresses in lts.conf, so i only have to
edit one configuration file to configure a new thin-client... but it
should support all of the usual configuration methods (hostname/IP/MAC),
so i raised the bug severity to important.

does removing /etc/hostname actually cause hostnames to get configured
properly?

you can install a plugin in /etc/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/XXX-FOO
to remove it after installation, if you want that behavior. see the
documentation for plugins in /usr/share/doc/ltsp-server/plugins

thanks for the feedback.

live well,
