Your Xserver is working, but have no clients to display. This means that there is a problem with the display manager running at the application server (LTSP-server) (or possibly a firewall setting that blocks the traffic). See the documentation for LTSP. > A strange thing is, if I set RUNLEVEL=3 in lts.conf, then the workstation gives me >the root prompt, without > asking for login .... The root prompt is at the workstation, and not to the LTSP-server. It is there to make it easy to troubleshoot. But in your case the workstations works. The problems is the display manager at the server. -- Hans Ekbrand
