Hi, I got a lovely message in the middle of booting up one of my thin clients (the rest of the clients bootup fine):
Error! dhcpcd failed. So I searched for this message and couldn´t find any info on the LTSP wiki. However the K12LTSP web site was more helpful: http://www.k12ltsp.org/mediawiki/index.php/Error!_dhcpcd_failed! (This info should be included the LTSP wiki.) Since my client doesn´t have two NICs, I concluded that my problem was the port numbers 67 and 68, so I would have to use different ports, so I looked up the LTSP documentation at: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/DHCP#Use_different_port_numbers_for_t I downloaded a new etherboot image configured to use ports 1067-8, but then I got stuck when I read this: -------- Change the server startup script in /etc/init.d/dhcpd (or equivalent) to make the server respond to requests on port 1067. At the top of the file, add a line like DHCPORT="1067" and edit the line that calls the server to something like dhcpd -p $DHCPORT ... (other options) -------- I can´t find file /etc/init.d/dhcpd on my system. The closest file I can find is /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server, but that script file doesn´t specify the port number. I´m using Debian 4.0r0, LTSP 4.2, dhcp3-server 3.0.4-13 Any suggestions where to set the port number?
