According to the firewall log, the 3680 requests are TCP connections,
but I just switched to 'lsof -i' anyway.

using the failure to
log the connection request? The outbound connection is only attempted
a few times per day. If so, how would you recommend fixing that?
I'm also wondering if there is a command I could run on the
router/firewall machine that would log something from the outbound
request. Even if the information logged isn't useful, it would be
nice to see a confirmation of the outbound requests logged from
somewhere besides the firewall.

h a target of LOG. The packet will show up in syslog.
I just started running this on the router:

requests are being made to the offending IP, including any that aren't
being logged by the firewall. Nothing yet.

what I've read it isn't ideal. Besides Xorg multiseat I've
read about LTSP and a few others:
http://www.ltsp.org
http://www.thinstation.org
http://automseat.sourceforge.net
http://www.openthinclient.org
There are also a lot of proprietary options. Is LTSP the way to go?
- Grant
Ubuntu. The Plugable thin client
connects to the server via USB 2.0 which makes me wonder if it could
be made to work without Userful Multiseat Linux as a USB video card
and input devices, but I imagine drivers for the video card and
bandwidth over USB could be a problem.
I think #1 is the way to go but I'd love to hear anyone else's opinion
on that. Has anyone here ever set up multiseat in Xorg?
- Grant
rformance and
flexibility, the cheap notebook could win. The #1 priority for me is
minimizing sys admin duties though. I would need a Gentoo system for
duties like router and firewall anyway, and if I build the multiseat
capabilities into that same system, I have at least 6 workstations and
zero system
and that managing multiple boxen is always a greater burden, but

That looks cool, but from my perspective it's another layer to learn,
install, configure, and manage. chef and puppet take a different
approach to lessening the burden of administrating multiple systems,
but in the end neither approach comes anywhere near the hardware and
software simplicity (and corresponding ease of setup and maintenance)
of multiseat.
