I also tried

That makes no sense to me at all, if the file originally had a line
containing only DEVICE (you did check that, right?).  But

       sed -e 's/DEVICE.*$/DEVICE Lubuntu1:3551/'
might still be worth a shot.  Also, can you re-verify exactly what the
file has in it *before* you do all this sed editing on it?  Is there a
line containing only the word "DEVICE" ?

Is there any chance something else is editing the DEVICE line, so you do
not need to do so?  If you omit this edit (for DEVICE) but leave all the
others in place, what does the final file look like?

Thanks for giving this a good look. I can verify now that the script is doing its job. Something else is overwriting the file again after that.

Given the nature of the overwrite, I have to think that I must have set in place whatever is doing the damage. Probably some earlier troubleshooting attempt which I did not record and have now forgotten. If I can't remember then I suppose I'll have to look through every location where something can start from in an LTSP client bootup.
