Chapter 8. Client Platforms
8.6.2.1. Basic Configuration
For the ThinLinc client to appear at all, a Thinstation "session" must be created. This is done by adding a
few lines to the thinstation.conf.network file. Here’s an example:
SESSION_0_TYPE=thinlinc
SESSION_0_THINLINC_SERVER=demo.thinlinc.com
SESSION_0_THINLINC_OPTIONS="-u user -c"
SESSION_0_THINLINC_CONFIG_NFS_SERVER_ENABLED=0
The above example will make the ThinLinc appear on the display of the client after boot. It will set the
servername to demo.thinlinc.com, and it will reset the username field and enable the control panel. It will
also disable export of local drives. See below for information on enabling local drives on Thinstation.
All standard client options can be added to the SESSION_0_THINLINC_OPTIONS variable. For example,
to lock down the server field, add -l server.
8.6.2.2. Configuration using the Client Configuration File
Some of the features of the ThinLinc client can’t be configured via command line options. Instead, the
configuration file must be altered. To allow features such as local drive and sound redirection to work
when running on Thinstation, the ThinLinc client package for Thinstation has features for altering the
configuration file on the client.
To alter the configuration file, add statements on the form
SESSION_0_THINLINC_CONFIG_<configuration file variable name> = <value> to
thinstation.conf.network. An example follows:
SESSION_0_THINLINC_CONFIG_NFS_SERVER_ENABLED=1
SESSION_0_THINLINC_CONFIG_SOUND_ENABLED=1
The above example will set the NFS_SERVER_ENABLED to 1 and the CONFIG_SOUND_ENABLED to 1, and
so on.
8.6.2.3. Enabling Sound and Local Drive Redirection
If the hardware running Thinstation has support for it and the correct sound and disk device modules has
been loaded, the ThinLinc client will be able to support sound and local drive redirection. The following
configuration lines in thinstation.conf.network will enable sound redirection and local drive
redirection for USB storage devices:
SESSION_0_THINLINC_CONFIG_NFS_EXPORTS=/mnt/usbdevice,rw,/mnt/cdrom,ro
SESSION_0_THINLINC_CONFIG_NFS_SERVER_ENABLED=1
SESSION_0_THINLINC_CONFIG_SOUND_ENABLED=1
SESSION_0_THINLINC_CONFIG_NFS_ROOT_WARNING=0
8.6.2.4. Avoiding Question about Server Host Key
When running on a device with non-volatile storage, such as a hard disk, the ThinLinc client stores the
public part of the ssh host key of the ThinLinc client the first time it connects to the server after asking
