Hi folks,
I have a problem understanding how ltsp works.
First I'll would like to describe my goal, than my question is easier to
understand.
1. The users shall use thin clients with an ltsp server
2. The users are working with KDE (or Gnome) and mounting a central data
directory from a samba server (servs also win-stations)
3. There is some special daemon (A) working on each client.
4. The samba server monitors (gets the filename, the clients IP, DNS name
and Netbios name) writing in special directory and starts tasks like
converting changed files to other formats.
5. After converting the samba server (not samba itself) shall send a
message to the clients daemon (A) to open a speciffic application or do
whatever.
Now my problem is:
Can I reach the client (running on LTSP) by IP, DNS name or Netbios name?
Or do I only get the values from the ltsp server?
Maybe you have an other idea to accomplish the same. :-)
Mario,
In your dhcpd.conf file you can control the IP address each client gets so
you will know exactly who gets what IP address. This article in the wiki
may help you. http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/DHCP
