Hi,

Can anyone explain what Mandrake (8.1) is doing with their font server and
how to get the font server to work with LTSP clients? The path for the fonts
on the server is specified as  unix/:-1. When I enable the use of the Font
Server in the lts.conf file, this sticks the value unix/:7100 in the
XF86Config file on the client.

I understand that the value (-1, 7100) refer to a port which is used by the
Font Server to serve up the fonts, and that both the server and the client
need to agree on the port number. If I change the port number in the Server
config file to 7100, and also change the xfs script in /etc/rc.d/init.d to
use 7100, I cannot get X started on the server. If I modify the script which
generates the XF86Config file for the client to use -1, I get an error
saying it's an invalid port.

Thanks,
Skip
