Alkis (and the list), Thanks for the quick reply. It seems that my jetpipe problem was more of a general issue of that the clients won't use the lts.conf
Your suggestion was very helpful in getting me to this point and I appreciate it. Situation so far: 1) Jetpipe only works from command line 2) Tried your solution which is exactly what I was looking for but it failed, too. 3) Found and corrected that tftp was serving from /srv/tftp rather than /var/lib/tftpboot. Logging into a client, I can download via tftp the lts.conf file from /var/lib/tftpboot (just to verify it gets there properly) 4) Since I'm using NFS, lts.conf file in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386, is found at boot and appears properly in /etc/lts.conf 5) However, everything in /var/cache/ltsp just shows defaults and doesn't indicate that the lts.conf file has been read and parsed. I've stripped down to a most basic lts.conf file as follows: [default] LTSP_CONFIG=True LDM_DIRECTX=True RCFILE_01="/usr/sbin/jetpipe /dev/usb/lp0 9100" Neither this nor about 50 other attempts have worked. 6) I haven't attempted to update anything as I don't want to bomb an otherwise working system on a Sunday night. 7) Situation seems to be that lts.conf is installed and should be found but somehow isn't being parsed. Any insights or suggestions would be welcome.
