WebContentControl

linux terminal server doesnt work

Asked by asdfjkloe

Everything is working fine at the server, as long as i use it as normal workstation. But i also want to use the workstation as linux terminal server (lstp), which is very usefull in school. and everything worked so far.
But when i try to boot the client via pxe after installing webcontentcontrol, it doesnt work anymore. without webcontentcontrol the client is starting. so: obviousely any firewall rule or something like this has to change, so that client get everything to start via pxe. but I dont know what. Any idea?

I think it would be very usefull, if webcontentcontrol works with lstp. Both is good for schools ..

Sorry for answering so late.

Yes, it's probably caused by the firewall.
You can either deactivate it through the GUI or by command-line.

GUI:
To deactivate it temporarily:
Click the "FireHol on/off" button

To deactivate it permanently:
Advanced settings->Services->Click "Firehol running at startup"

CLI:
To deactivate it temporarily:
sudo service firehol stop
sudo /etc/init.d/firehol stop

To deactivate it permanently:
sudo update-rc.d -f firehol remove
sudo /usr/share/webcontentcontrol/scripts/service_setup.sh firehol off

To keep firehol running, but allow PXE: cf http://firehol.sourceforge.net/
I don't know if it's possible however.

The commands I gave are equivalent, i.e.:

To deactivate it temporarily:
sudo service firehol stop
OR
sudo /etc/init.d/firehol stop

To deactivate it permanently:
sudo update-rc.d -f firehol remove
OR
sudo /usr/share/webcontentcontrol/scripts/service_setup.sh firehol off

Can you help with this problem?
