Dear peers,
Server: 'slab'
Ubuntu 10.10 amd64
admin account: 'david'
Client: 'ren'
Ubuntu 10.10 amd64
I have been using LTSP for about 4 years now and love it.
Yesterday for the first time I began to play with a fat client setup,
following the instructions here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FatClients
and almost everything just worked great with no headache.
The one exception where I'm having trouble is with user management.
The account I created when installing the server OS is 'david', so
naturally I have sudo powers there. When I pxeboot the client I am
able to login as david and get a functioning desktop, but this was
unexpected in gnome-terminal:
david@ren:~$ ifconfig
Command 'ifconfig' is available in '/sbin/ifconfig'
The command could not be located because '/sbin' is not included in
the PATH environment variable.
This is most likely caused by the lack of administrative privileges
associated with your user account.
ifconfig: command not found
david@ren:~$
If I try '/sbin/ifconfig' then I get the expected output. If I try
'sudo su' it prompts me for my sudo password but then doesn't accept
it. Is the first user account not in the admin group?
david@ren:~$ grep david /etc/group
adm:x:4:david
dialout:x:20:david
cdrom:x:24:david
plugdev:x:46:david
lpadmin:x:106:david
david:x:1000:david
david@ren:~$
Apparently not. Then I log into the server:
david@slab:~$ sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/amd64/ adduser david admin
adduser: The user `david' does not exist.
david@slab:~$
I would like to have superuser access on the fat client. What is the
recommended way to accomplish this? Do I just need to manually edit
the /etc/group files? Did I mess something up?
Thanks for another great project!
