I did have to manually edit the "tftp" config (default config from the 'ltspcfg' script had it running in secure mode using '-s' option and also had to modify the kernel version), and ran the rest of the configs from the ltspcfg command as well.
Having found the problem with the tftp config, I started working with the dhcpd config file to prevent unknown clients from using the dhcpd server. That required finding out the MAC address of each network card, but again no problem.
Modifying the lts.conf file to set up the workstations went pretty easy, and a quick reboot of the terminal brought up my KDE desktop quite nicely, with only one problem.
The backspace key doesn't work. It doesn't work at the logon screen, and it doesn't work on the desktop - at all. If I fire up the desktop on the server, it works just fine for any user at all, but not when logging in from a terminal.
I've replaced the keyboard (no joy), I tried editing the 'kdmrc' file regarding who can shutdown or restart the server (the reboot/shutdown option is now gone), and anything else I could think of but that backspace key just won't work.
If anyone has some suggestions, I'd love to hear from you. 'Xmodmap' doesn't seem to have an entry in it for the backspace key but I suspect that this was removed by whatever is broking the keyboard in the first place.
A search of the Archives showed the backspace key acting strangely in specific apps or shells, but not throughout the whole terminal.
Thanks in advance for any help you might have to offer.
