It most probably is the cause for why tftp does not (fully?) work. You wrote that you could tftp-get the kernel from the server. You used "tftp localhost", not "tftp 192.168.0.2", did you? What happens on the .0.2 address (or whatever the local ip of the linux server is) when downloading back on the linux-server itself? Sure that iptables is disabled, what does "iptables -L -n" say? > [EMAIL PROTECTED] cpn]# grep nobody /etc/passwd > nobody:x:65534:65533:Nobody:/:/bin/sh > [EMAIL PROTECTED] cpn]# grep nogroup /etc/group > nogroup:x:65534:nobody > [EMAIL PROTECTED] cpn]# Fine, they exist. > Yes it exists and is 1,4 MB What permissions are set on the directories /tftpboot and /tftpboot/lts; what permissions are on the kernel file? >> Then, turn on the thinclient and some seconds after it starts booting, >> as root enter "arp -a -n".

That makes it quite sure to be a tftp problem. > There is something that could be important.

If so where do I set the domain name? Not for now. We have a complete LTSP network running without ypbind. It could be reasonable or even necessary for local-apps and user-logins and such, but it could be that you do not have to have it for a numbercracker computer cause nobody wants to log in there. Read the yp Docs, www.tldp.org (Howtos there) could be helpful.
