You only need DNS and/or /etc/hosts if you want to refer to your workstations by name in lts.conf. You could also just refer to them by MAC address. You might not even need to refer to them at all if they all take the same LTSP settings in lts.conf, in which case they all use the [Default] section. I don't think there's any other reason, is there? And if there is, /etc/hosts should be enough. > I setup a LTSP server with RH 7.2 but I didn't use the > ./ltsp_initialize.

You're saying that on the client you get the graphical login window, just like on the server? You should notice at least that the options to shutdown and reboot aren't there, but other than that, this is great! The exports file only provides access to the files necessary for the boot process and starting X-windows and for any local-apps. Once you get the XDMCP login to the LTSP server, you have full access to the server because you *are* logged into the server, just as if you were sitting at the console.
