We use the 'hostname' to distinguish the xorg.conf's for different thin clients. The attached init-script 'x2gohostname' replaces the default 'hostname' with the ethernet address of the network device eth0. Colons are replaced by dashes. Xorg will search the xorg.conf.<hostname> file in the directory /usr/etc/X11/, which correspond to /opt/x2gothinclient/chroot/usr/etc/X11/ in the PXE-boot environment. The init-script goes to /opt/x2gothinclient/chroot/etc/init.d/. Enter thechroot-environment executing 'x2gothinclient_shell'. 'update-rc.d x2gohostnamedefaults' will generate the symlinks for the different run-levels. Hope this helps someone, Stephan
Can you please re-send this mail to [email protected] and put the below lines as first lines of the mail body:?:
""" Package: x2gothinclient Severity: wishlist """My suggestion would be to improve this script a little further. From Debian Edu I know that it is rather easy to retrieve the hostname from DNS.
Like this: MAC -> DHCP -> retrieve IP -> DNS -> set FQDN (revDNS) as hostname If this fails, MAC as hostname is a fallback that is good enough.
