I too have been very interested in the SHUTDOWN and TIMESERVER options. I've had no luck yet with shutting down the clients automatically, but I do have the timeserver option working correctly.
I had to add a script to my chroot to get the timeserver to update (I have my own timeserver 10.1.1.10 mainly because this is a mythtv server with 11 diskless front ends and sometimes we don't have internet at this remote location). */var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf* TIMESERVER = 10.1.1.10 RCFILE_01 = /etc/ltsp/ntpdate $ sudo mkdir /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ltsp $ sudo vim /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ltsp/ntpdate* /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ltsp/ntpdate** * #!/bin/bash if [ -n $TIMESERVER ]; then ntpdate $TIMESERVER & else ntpdate pool.ntp.org fi $ sudo chmod +x /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ltsp/ntpdate Update the image After that your clients should update their time when they boot up. I did this because if the time isn't exactly the same as the server mythfrontend will not start on the clients.
