Title: RE: [Ltsp-discuss] using ltsp on a shared NT & Linux network

Hi,
        I 've set up my network as suggested and the client won't boot.
On the server log you can see a DHCPDISCOVER from the client and DHCPOFFER response from the server but the client never accepts this. if I use an etherboot disc with REQUIRE_VCI_ETHERBOOT set off then the client will boot !

My dhcp config is below, any clues as to what I'm doing wrong ?

    Use VCIs (Vendor Class Identifiers). If your LTSP box is using Etherboot
    and your non-NT DHCP server is dhcpd v3 do something like the following:

    1) Compile Etherboot with REQUIRE_VCI_ETHERBOOT so that it ignores the
    NT servers.

    2) Something like this tells ISC dhcpd to ignore all except Etherboot.

    # Match all
    class "VCI-Etherboot" {
      match if substring ( option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9 ) = "Etherboot" ;
    }

    pool {
          range 10.2.253.1 10.2.253.254 ;
          deny unknown clients ;
          allow members of "VCI-Etherboot" ;
        }

    You shouldn't need to do anything to the NT DHCP servers.
