mwalters: from what I can see, the problem with the uefi clients not requesting any files, was because I was offering both pxe-service and dhcp-boot. Those need to be separated; real dhcp gets dhcp-boot and proxydhcp gets pxe-service.
06:55
I think that's actually a bug in dnsmasq, but anyway that ^ workaround solves it

Is there a way to prevent people from connecting to the ltsp server through ssh, but still let them sign in to the clients?
12:00
<alkisg>
Do you mean fat clients?
12:00
<uumas>
Yes
12:00
<alkisg>
You can allow ssh logins only from local subnet and only for specific users
12:00
If that's not enough, set LDM_SERVER elsewhere, e.g. in a vm,
12:01
and, it's also possible to use chroots in ssh, although more difficult to setup
12:01
The LDM login manager doesn't support anything other than ssh
12:02
<uumas>
Okay, would it be possible to use another login manager and login "locally"
12:02
We have authentication through LDAP
12:02
<alkisg>
No, ltsp doesn't support other display managers
12:02
Well...
12:02
you could, if you rewrote that part of lstp
12:02
if you know programming, you should be able to do it within a couple of days
12:03
<uumas>
Okay, well, that sounds like quite a bit too much trouble then.
12:04
What harm could a normal user cause on the server. One thing that comes to my mind is fork bombs, but is there anything else?

<mwalters>
they'll be confined to their own userspace... they could fill up /home, I guess? They could do that from their own client regardless, though
13:35
alkisg: I'll take a look at that, thanks
13:40
oh, so you're saying that bios clients don't need the pxe-service line?
13:40
(for X86PC)?
13:41
I think I'm more confused now, sorry. :D

<alkisg>
mwalters: are you using proxydhcp or real dhcp?
15:36
<mwalters>
real dhcp
15:36
<alkisg>
Then don't put any pxe-service lines at all
15:36
<mwalters>
(e.g., my ltsp servers are the dhcp servers, proper)
15:36
<alkisg>
For any client (except raspberries, if you have)
15:36
<mwalters>
thanks, I'll try that
15:36
<alkisg>
np
15:48
<mwalters>
that worked, thanks!
15:48
I lost so much hair over that one
15:50
<alkisg>
Me too :)
15:50
Hours and hours, until the bulb was lighted over my head
15:51
<mwalters>
hah! The one day I had made waaaay too many changes in the conf and it worked... so I knew it was at least a config issue... but I never could narrow it back down, lol

so I originally setup ltsp as dual nic, but I have not been able to finish everything else and need it to be single nic. How do I switch?
19:20
DO I just re-run ltsp-config dnsmasq ? what about iptables?

My clients are able to boot and connect to internet now, but my ltsp server has not internet access. I set the default gw in network-manager for the interface connected to the lan.
20:00
<Hyperbyte>
JuJUBee, your problem is not ltsp related.
20:01
Just debug your internet connection on the server. Check your network configuration, ping the next gateway, traceroute, etc.
20:01
Use any guide online to troubleshoot internet connection on Linux.
20:01
<JuJUBee>
There is no default gw for some reason when I "ip route" or route -n
20:02
When I configured ltsp originally I used dual nic config, but now I am only using a single nic until I can finish setting everything else up (web server etc....)

20:09
this should help, like Hyperbyte said, this isn't specific to LTSP

(assuming you're using 18.04/ubuntu

)
