Hi Everyone
I'm looking to remaster knoppix to act as a drop in replacement when a linux workstation' hard drive breaks in my laboratory. Ultimately I'd like the final product to resemble the missing workstation in as much that;
1.When it boots a display manager comes up, rather than an automatic log in
2.Passwords are correctly picked up from a NIS server
3.Hostnames are correctly resolved (ie the workstation is called by the name set by the server, not knoppix)
4.Automatic mount points are picked up from the central server, allowing programs installed there to be run on the machine and allowing access to users home directories
So far I can get the passwords from the server (as demonstrated by ypcat passwd) and I can access automatic mount points correctly. However I can't use the passwords (through su) as if the hostname is knoppix I get a gethostbyname error, and if it is set correctly I get a "no shell" error. Any help, or directions to webpages or other projects where this has been done would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Ben
