Hi,

I've tried EXPORT_USERIP="1" but I don't get the environment variable
on the client. :(

Perhaps I should be using the freeNX client? (I'm using the !M client)
That also makes me wonder how (and when), I should set the ltsp variables:
server_ip_addr = $ENV{NXUSERIP}
WS=${NXUSERIP}
I need to set those right after the nxclient has logged on, correct?

So, perhaps that is also easier with the freenx client.

Could you post some more detail please?

Thanks.
Chrs.
