Very nice. I've used it too, turns a (possibly diskless) machine into a
thin client. Perhaps you are also using the expeditious etherboot or
(for newer machines) the blessedly built-in PXE?
Are you concerned about having to restart the terminal, or the server?
lts.conf is one of the initialization files for the terminal, not the
server. /etc/hosts is reread just as soon as you update it.
You will have to restart only the terminal to re-read lts.conf which
does nice things like determine which modules a particular terminal must
load on startup.
If you're trying to add a terminal to your network and are using dhcp,
you will need to edit dhcpd.conf and restart dhcp (on debian:
/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart, the config file is
/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf)
With my setup, I add the new terminal's IP address to /etc/hosts and add
a dhcpcd.conf entry like this:
host prawn {
hardware ethernet 00:10:b5:69:bb:55;
fixed-address prawn;
filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1";
}
containing the MAC address and hostname of the new terminal. The dhcp
server won't read these updates until it is restarted.
