Hi Stefan,

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 the
chroot-environment executing 'x2gothinclient_shell'. 'update-rc.d x2gohostname
defaults' 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:?:

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.

Thanks+Greets,
Mike
