I’ve also checked to see that the dhcp.conf file points to files that exist. I couldn’t open those files to peek at them, should I be able to? I Downloaded and installed all of the updates for 4.4 and rebooted server, but the terminals still fail to boot. <o:p></o:p> The thing that kills me is that all of the terminals worked before I webmin’d in the users and then used this command “rsync –essh –av . 192.168.0.254:/home” to move the home folders over. I don’t really know how it works, but all of the folders seem to have come over fine and all of my users are there. The passwords for the users are messed up, though. If I reset the passwords, I can login as any user on the SERVER (not terminal) and the student material appears in their home folder.<o:p></o:p> Would Importing users or the rsync command somehow affect the permissions on other files (like vmlinuz.ltsp)?<o:p></o:p> I’m willing to reload 4.4.1 or 5 (which I tried earlier, but ran into the same problem) and put all of the student work in a public folder for them to import themselves, if the problem exists with my use of the rsync, but rebuilding the 350 users is a pain (although I looks like I have to reset their passwords anyway – is there a cool command for that?) <o:p></o:p> Huge thanks for all of the suggestions so far. ~Alex<o:p></o:p> Ps: I’ll add a sightseeing trip down the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Piscataqua</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">River</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> and out around the Isles of Shoals to the Beer and Golf award.
