[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#406366: ltsp-build-client: /etc/hostname breaks automatic hostname configuration

[Damyan Ivanov]

Package: ltsp-server
Version: 0.99debian9
Severity: normal

Hi,

First thing - first, LTSP rocks! debian packages install streamlined
and I am really impressed (coming from lessdisks).

There is one small glitch that ate me a couple of hours to figure today.

After ltsp-build-client, the ltsp chroot's etc/hostname contains 'ltsp'.
This causes DHCP-supplied hostname to be ignored, making client
configuration via lts.conf impossible (using hostnames; it works with
IP/MAC addresses).

Please remove /etc/hostname from client's chroot after setting it up.


Thanks for considering,
    dam
