hi all, I have an LTSP4/FC2 server running, using GNOME as the desktop and it works quite well, but a couple of problems or issues still exist.
1. When a user logs in they get a message about Xkb Error - I have checked and made all the adjustments that I can find on the web and the Fedora site. For instance the Fedora site says to change the XKbRules line in xorg.conf, however the line didn't exist and adding it had no effect.
2. Maybe related but the fonts on the terminals are crap - the server console is very good. Have checked that the font server is running and the order of the fonts in the font path.
3. I need to direct all web requests transparently to our proxy server. I could get the users to enter the details into the web browser, but then I am also giving them instructions on how to bypass it! (For our own purposes we have left open direct access to the net without going through the proxy). We are not running a firewall on this server as it is internal and behind the site firewalls - however there is no problem with running one if that will help.
A simple iptables rule will do this: something like
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
would do it assuming eth1 is the LAN interface. You would probably want to do something more specific - eg filter for packets destined to places on the web not just anything on a certain interface. Of course, you may also want to include an IP address to redirect to.
