Evan and John,

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

The idea is that you run ltspinfo like this:

    eval `ltspinfo -h ws001 -c ALL`

and it will set the values in your environment.

It prepends 'LTSP_' on the front of all of the variables, so that we
don't step on other variables that might already be in your environment.

As for variables missing from /tmp/info, only variables that the client
cares about are put in /tmp/info, and will be returned by ltspinfod.
RUNLEVEL is not a recognized variable. (it was in LTSP-3, but not in
LTSP-4 or LTSP-4.1).

Take a look in the rc.sysinit script in the ltsp etc directory.  It has
calls such as:  reg_info USE_NFS_SWAP

That's the command that puts the USE_NFS_SWAP variable in /tmp/info.

Just randomly adding new variables to lts.conf won't magically make them
appear in /tmp/info.  You'd need to add some code in your rc script to
call reg_info to make them appear.
