I am running Fedora Core 4 on a Dell PowerEdge 830 server at a school. I have installed and configured LTSP as separate
package after the initial install. There is 20 thin clients(Compaq Deskpro PIII-500MHZ 128MB RAM Intel Pro NIC).
It has been running great - lately I had a few server freezes (overload 20 clients 20x Scribus 20x Gimp 20x Firefox you have
the picture...) and got the advice to clear the /tmp dir. I ran "rm /tmp * -Rf" since rebooting only aliviated the issue temporarily.
Since then the thin clients will boot (tftp) up to the GUI login screen. After entering their username and password the system does not continue to logon but just ask for the username again.
GUI Logon screen on server does the same.
Remote NX logon reports "Server not installed or NX access disabled"
I do have console access.
Help!!!!!
here is some detail:
