Yes, /etc/hosts is generated on boot of the thin client. See /usr/share/ltsp/init-ltsp.d/09-hostname for the code that does this. You can change the "server" alias using the SERVER_NAME variable and add arbitrary entries using HOSTS_XX in lts.conf. The code dates from when the standard LTSP environment didn't typically have name resolution, which is an assumption we should re-think in modern LTSP environments. > Documented anywhere?
