Package: debian-edu-config
Version: 1.416+svn39964
Severity: important

After switching off avahi-daemon thin clients randomly stopped working
after a reboot.  The login screen never came up.

I traced this down to the xauth cookie in /tmp/tmp[RANDOM] having the
cookie set for ltsp/unix:6 in the non-working clients.  The working
clients had a cookie for [full hostname]/unix:6.

Further investigation showed that S20ltsp-client will use the hostname 
set by hostname.sh to the contents of /etc/hostname, which is ltsp for 
all diskless clients, unless update-hostname has run.  If 
S20ltsp-client manages to set the X cookie before S20update-hostname 
runs, the cookie will contain the wrong hostname.

I recommend solving this by setting the correct hostname earlier.  
Moving update-hostname from S20 to a lower number seems to be the 
simplest solution.  The hostname should be set properly before syslog 
starts as well.

update-hostname was moved to 05 (from 20), so this should be resolved in
the current version in unstable.

thanks!
