[Sheflug] DHCP/Multiple DHCP

["Chris Johnson" <chris [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got an old Cyrix 6x86 that doesn't want to have suse 8.2 installed
(can't remember the error now but I've decided to test Thin client computing
with it.  I chose LTSP as its the first one I found and seems to have been
used in education quite a lot.  I've installed the latest server side apps
on my Suse 8.2 server and created the boot disk from www.rom-o-matic.com but
it only gets as far as looking for DHCP.  On the server when I do

ps aux |grep dhcp I only get 2 lines, one for the grep command and one for

/sbin/syslogd -m 0 -r -s 192.168.0.0/192.168.0.255 -a /var/lib/dhcp/dev/log

I should point out that my nextwork is on 192.168.100.0 but this output
still doesn't seem to indicate that dhcp is running.

How can I set my thin client server so that it runs dhcp services?

My IPCop firewall is also configured as a DHCP server.  Could this have any
effect on the other DHCP server (on the thin client server) or on the
booting of the thin client workstation?  If it should work then I'll
concentrate my efforts elsewhere but I can switch it off if it might be
causing a problem.

Any other comments on thin client server problems/solutions software greatly
appreciated as I'm trying to build up a broad base of knowledge to be able
to work from.  If I can put a thin client server in a school then they can
run applications on any PC where the Windoughs installation has crashed by
booting it to work as a thin client instead, or they can boot as a thin
client if the linux software offers something they can't get in Windows.
