Use -r for caching clients) A couple of problems: 1) I can't login when the diskless client boots. I've tried the root account as well as the ldap 'demo-user' user id. I've changed /etc/sysconfig in the snapshot to dump the logs to the console (since I can't login and see them). When I use 'root', I get: .....PAM-securetty[2785]: Error opening /etc/securetty When I use 'demo-user', I can see ldap traffic to the server using tcpdump, but I get: ...login(pam_unix)[2786]: check pass; user unknown ...login(pam_unix)[2786]: authentication failure; logname=LOGIN uid=0 euid=0 tty=tty1 ruser= rhost= ...login[2787]: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM (null) FOR demo-user, Authentication failure I've never used LDAP before, but using phpldapadmin (as previously suggested), I've changed the demo-user password, and modified the group (as mentioned in another post) - to no avail. To get around this, I modified /etc/inittab in the snapshot directory to start up in single user mode rather than run level 3, just so I can get on the box and play with it. I, too, get a bunch of errors at startup - the first of which are generated by /etc/rc.readonly: ...

The snapshot is of a vanilla 'Workstation' FC3 install. Thanks, Mike.
