Thin Client

  • The user login password is: thinclient
  • The thinclient OS is hacked to open a terminal as root when user logs in, from which a vnc connection to a workstation can be opened (run /home/user/start-linux.sh, which just contains "vncviewer workstation::port &")
  • The workstations used are as follows:
    • veneon -> uqmd03
    • hermon -> uqmd05
    • taj -> uqmd13

Workstations

  • On the workstations, the vncserver (Xvnc) runs from xinetd on a specific port (veneonvnc->5094, etc); this is configured from /etc/xinetd.d/{taj,veneon,...}vnc:
service cradlevnc
{
disable = no
socket-type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd :1 -query localhost -geometry 640x480 -depth 24 -once -fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/ -securitytypes=none
}
  • Also GDM is set up
