Hi,
now sound and localdevs work, I am going to face the real problems. Well, we
have numerous thin clients and several workstations. Users should be able to
choose on which workstation they would like to work. We prefer not to assign a
certain workstation to a thin client. This is only the last option. At the
moment we have LTSP 4.2 and get an X connection via xdmcp which is of course
insecure. Users boot via LTSP, are then redirected to a program on a server
which allows to choose an X session on the workstation one prefers.
Is there any possibility to realize this with ldm. I started scanning the
scripts listed in here: http://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/ldm/filelist.
There might be a first approach in /usr/lib/ltsp/screen.d/ldm to connect to
another machine which is not the ltsp-server, but has ldm installed.
#
# Server scalability. If there exists a /usr/share/ltsp/get_hosts file,
then
# use it to populate the LDM_SERVER environment variable.
#
if [ -z "${LDM_SERVER}" ]; then
if [ -x /usr/share/ltsp/get_hosts ]; then
LDM_SERVER=$(/usr/share/ltsp/get_hosts)
else
LDM_SERVER=${SERVER}
fi
fi
export LDM_SERVER
Of course the get_hosts file does not exist yet. I couldn't find any
information about syntax... Is this the right track? I am sure it is possible,
ldm still uses the Xserver, doesn't it. Just with a secure ssh connection. What
is required to establish it?
