Thank you, Peter:
It's working now. I really appreciate it.

Kelly,
Log in to the terminal, start up a terminal window and type echo
$DISPLAY. It will tell you the name you want to put between the [].

Thank you,
That makes perfect sense, but let me go a little further and maybe you
can shed some more light on this.
I am trying to get a workstation to login automatically. My DHCP.conf is
located on the dhcp server which is not the same as the terminal
server. So far, I have three PC's successfully booting from floppies
and I am able to login to the terminal server from each one. (These
PC's normally dual boot to Linux and/or Windows and have static
addresses.) So, to avoid confusion, I set up the dhcpd.conf file to
give those three workstations(PC's) their usual IP addresses.) Like the
following:
#Kelly's terminal
host ws001 {
hardware ethernet 00:50:FC:84:DX:EX;
fixed-address 192.168.1.188;
filename "lts/vmlinuz-2.4.26-ltsp-3";
}
#Another terminal
host ws002{ etc.........
(Everything works fine to this point.)
Then, to allow my workstation to auto login, I added to the file
/opt/kde/share/config/kdm/kdmrc the following lines:
/[X-ws001:0-Core]
AutoLoginEnable=true
AutoLoginUser=kelly
ClientLogFile=.xsession-errors
[X-ws188:0-Core]
AutoLoginEnable=true
AutoLoginUser=kelly
ClientLogFile=.xsession-errors
[Xdmcp]
Enable=true
Willing=/opt/kde/share/config/kdm/Xwilling
Xaccess=/opt/kde/share/config/kdm/Xaccess/
(I wasn't sure if my workstation was considered ws001 or ws188 since the
IP (188) was assigned in dhcpd.conf, so I added both. Can you tell me
how I can tell which it should be?)
I know this file is being read because changes to the greet string are
reflected when I made them. Yet, when I reboot the workstation, I still
get a login screen. I've read all the hints I could find on the
subject, but I must be missing something.
I really appreciate any help.
Thanks again.

Hello,
I'm new to LTSP and running slackware 10.2 on the server and LTSP 5.1.
My understanding so far is that every terminal logging into the server
uses the initial IP address (from the DHCP server) to simply reach the
Term Server. After that the IP address of the server is used for every
workstation. Is this correct?
If so, is there any way for the workstations to retain their own IP
addresses after logging into the server?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kelly
Kelly,
Not quite right.
Each terminal has its own IP address and keeps it.
What happens is that once you are in an X session all the processes are
actually running on the server, not the terminal, so any network traffic
generated by those processes (i.e. Net traffic from a Web browser) will
appear to be (and actually will be) coming from the server's IP.
