smeserver-thinclient
Maintainer: TrevorB
Description
This contribution adds a server manager panel that allows an administrator to manage thinclient workstations (ie. workstations that are using the pxeboot protocol to retrieve a boot image from the server).
For usage see Thinclient usage.
Requirements
- smeserver >= 10.0
- smeserver-pxe (will be installed as a dependency when installing smeserver-thinclient)
- The thinclient workstations are receiving their dhcp info from your smeserver.
- A tftp-server, either on your smeserver or another server in your domain (I have also created a contrib to install a tftp server on your smeserver).
- The thinclient workstations have a PXE capable NIC and BIOS. (although booting from usb stick, floppy & CD is possible. Please refer to the documentation of your thinclient OS).
Installation
This contrib is held in the smecontribs repository, so the following commands will install on your smeserver.
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-thinclient
Go to the Thin Clients panel on Server Manager (within the Configuration section) and 'enable' etc. Usage (Thinclient usage).

Uninstall

If you no longer need to do any pxe booting, please also remove smeserver-pxe

And to remove all traces, you can
rm /home/e-smith/db/thinclient
rm /etc/dhcpd.thinclient
