Hi Just a couple of notes on my recent implementation of Ubuntu with LTSP 5. The progress on sound, local devices etc is amazing compared to my first FC1 based install. Most things just work in initial testing but I am sure the users will find issues when they start looking.
I did run into a few gotchas for server hardening though: 1) Clients run over ssh so the typical things that I configure caused issues, notably: a) AllowUsers b) Changing the default port from 22 to something else 2) Running Bastille Unix to lock down the server disabled tftp and changed the permissions on tcpd changing them bak to the original with all other settings 3) denyhosts with LTSP is problematic because incorrect passwords on the terminals will cause them to be locked out 4) Locking down FireFox 3 proxy settings is a little annoying. The script I normally use works but I need to manually copy a firefox.cfg to the firefox directory. I need to look to see if there is a newer version. 5) I have one client that seems to rev up when using flash that I need to look at (the fans kick in and it makes a heck of a noise) I will probably look into whether denyhosts can ignore the terminal network and whether it makes sense to run two ssh daemons one internal and one external. Does anyone else have server hardening processes that you use for LTSP?
