NAME

       ltsp initrd - create the ltsp.img initrd add-on

SYNOPSIS

       ltsp [ltsp-options] initrd

DESCRIPTION

       Create  a  secondary  initrd  in  /srv/tftp/ltsp/ltsp.img,  that  contains  the  LTSP  client  code  from
       /usr/share/ltsp/{client,common} and everything under /etc/ltsp, including the  ltsp.conf  settings  file.
       Additionally  it  contains  the  server  users and groups lists (passwd/group) and public SSH keys.  LTSP
       clients receive this initrd in addition to their usual one.

       This means that whenever you add new users or edit ltsp.conf(5), you need to run ltsp  initrd  to  update
       ltsp.img, and reboot the clients.

       It  also  means that you can very easily put template xorg.conf or sshfs or other files in /etc/ltsp, and
       have them on the clients in seconds, without having to run ltsp image.

OPTIONS

       See the ltsp(8) man page for ltsp-options.

EXAMPLES

       Most live CDs do not contain sshfs, so by default you can only use NFS home with them.  But  sshfs  is  a
       small binary without many dependencies, so you may usually provide it to the clients if you include it to
       ltsp.img:

              mkdir -p /etc/ltsp/bin
              cp /usr/bin/sshfs /etc/ltsp/bin/sshfs-$(uname -m)
              ltsp initrd

       You  can  even  provide  multiple  sshfs  versions  for  different  architectures.  LTSP contains code to
       automatically use those sshfs binaries if it can't find the /usr/bin/sshfs one.
