Yes, Macintosh - that's where the best challenges are  ;-)  You guys
have seemingly worked out most of the challenges with that hardware and
it would be too easy.

the file is definitely there (in /opt/ltsp/ppc/etc)

by tracking through things in i386 tree, it would appear that by virtue
of the line in /opt/ltsp/ppc/etc/inittab - this should have executed...

l:345:respawn:/etc/run_ltspinfod

and on a workstation, I am trying to reload via

init Q (and init q - by using SCREEN_02 which is a shell)

But the result is still the same...

[root at ltsp etc]# ltspinfo -h mac-linux-1 -s
Couldn't open connection to mac-linux-1:9200: Connection refused

Studying the methodology employed by i386, i386/etc/inittab is created
on the fly by virtue of i386/etc/rc.early-sysinit which doesn't exist in
the ppc tree. I'll keep playing with it but if you have any ideas,
please continue to toss them out...I appreciate all your help - you've
gotten me close.

Thanks
