[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#358584: ltsp-server: ifup lo fails becouse of missing /dev/shm/network

[Ronny Aasen]

Package: ltsp-server
Version: 0.82debian2
Severity: normal

Overview Description:
unable to ifup lo on a thin client. uncertain if lo is neccessary in a
thin client. 

running ifup produces
ifup: unable to open statefile /etc/network/run/ifstate: No such file or
directory

/etc/network/run is a broken symlink to /dev/shm/network

/dev/shm/network is created from /etc/init.d/ifupdown but this script is
not executed during boot of the thinclient

a lo interface seams not to be critical in a thin client, but when
booting as a diskless workstation from the same chroot you wont be able
to use portmapper and nfs mounts will fail.


Steps to reproduce:
- install ltsp-server version 0.82debian2
- run /usr/sbin/ltsp-build-client to create a sarge chroot in
/opt/ltsp/i386
- boot a thinclient or diskless workstation
- type ifup lo in a shell on the diskless client

Additional Information:
workaround
mv CHROOT/etc/rcS.d/S39ifupdown CHROOT/etc/rcS.d/S39ifupdown
after the next boot of the client you can now ifup lo
