[12:37] <Dyllan> Hi all.
[12:38] <Dyllan> In 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] <Dyllan> But 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?
[12:40] <Dyllan> Oh wait! :/
[12:41] <Dyllan> Fat finger problem i see it now!
[20:46] <dyllan> hi.
[20:47] <dyllan> My 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] <dyllan> can anyone explain this?
[21:18] <HedgeMage> dyllan: 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] <HedgeMage> xI'm not sure what ldminfod is though
[21:19] <dyllan> HedgeMage, 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] <dyllan> or something of that sort
[21:20] <HedgeMage> this is an ltsp set-up?
[21:21] <dyllan> yes it is
[21:22] <HedgeMage> dyllan: have you tried rebooting the clients?
[21:23] <HedgeMage> dyllan: 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.
[21:25] <dyllan> unfortunately i am off site, but before i left i tested a client and it worked fine.
[21:26] <dyllan> I 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 morning
[21:26] <dyllan> or at least i hope it will !
[21:28] <dyllan> thnx for ur input though, always appreciated
