DyllanHi all.12:37
DyllanIn this directory /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg  I have the default file and then I have a few other files with acpi=off. The other files are per hardware device, so they are named after the device MAC address.12:38
DyllanBut for some reason when the client PXE boots it ONLY picks up the 'default' file and not their MAC specific file, what cold be the reason for this?12:38
DyllanOh wait! :/12:40
DyllanFat finger problem i see it now!12:41
dyllanhi.20:46
dyllanMy syslog file is getting bombarded with these messages: Jun 13 21:43:13 storm-server ldminfod[13187]: connect from 192.168.0.30 (192.168.0.30)  <-- the ip address changes but there is approx 2 messages of this kind every second.20:47
dyllancan anyone explain this?20:47
HedgeMagedyllan: 192.168.0.30 is a local IP address, so something on your local network is trying to connect to your machine over and over.21:18
HedgeMagexI'm not sure what ldminfod is though21:18
dyllanHedgeMage, yea i think ive worked out that because i rebooted the server while i still had clients connected they are stuck in limbo trying to establish a connection to the server...21:19
dyllanor something of that sort21:19
HedgeMagethis is an ltsp set-up?21:20
dyllanyes it is21:21
HedgeMagedyllan: have you tried rebooting the clients?21:22
HedgeMagedyllan: I don't really know LTSP well, so if that doesn't help you best bet is to wait around for a more experienced hand.21:23
dyllanunfortunately i am off site, but before i left i tested a client and it worked fine.21:25
dyllanI just poked around the log files trying to troubleshoot another problem when i saw that, so i am confident it should be resolved when the users arrive in the morning21:26
dyllanor at least i hope it will !21:26
dyllanthnx for ur input though, always appreciated21:28
