Results from retrying the subnet-change tool: 1. First time around I entered root's password in error, not the "first login" or LDAP password, and no doubt this produced the previous odd-looking results
2. Second try - entered the LDAP password, and obtained correct results as Petter shows below. Can now connect to our existing network - success! 3. However, I can't login with the "first-login" and thin client doesn't discover a DHCP offer. 4. Attempted "/etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server start" and received error message "Cannot find host LDAP entry tjener" ... Poking around to see what's going on ...
