Usually one uses one method or the other - the hosts file or DNS. Unless you need to reference the machines by name for purposes of sending email or using other network utilities between them e.g., talk, then there is no compelling reason to set it up. > I setup a LTSP server with RH 7.2 but I didn't use the > ../ltsp_initialize.

You would be reading the X configuration from the RH server. I'm not sure what you mean by "the same screen", but as long as you got to a login screen, then it would seem that things are working. Changing the apprearance of the screen would be a metter of finding and tweaking the configuration file which specifies the graphic image to be displayed. ---------------------------------------------------------------- John Karns [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Stuff, things, and much much more. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
