NBD_PORT default not correct

[Michael Blinn]

Fresh i386 Ubuntu Hardy install, not upgrade

Description: Ubuntu 8.04
Release: 8.04

/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/init.d/ltsp-client-setup has
NBD_PORT=${NBD_PORT:-"9210"}

but

/etc/inetd.conf has:
9572 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/nbdswapd

And, in lts.conf, NBD_SWAP=Y won't work unless you also specify NBD_PORT=9572
NBD_PORT should default to 9572 in ltsp-client-setup

(As per the edubuntu handbook I did cp /etc/apt/sources.list /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/ and update;safe-upgrade -- This may be related)

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here

I haven't used the specific patch, but I did see this bug report before one was committed and used the workaround described. I can verify that this workaround works:

---
lts.conf:
...
# Enable NBD Swap and set correct port - see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/235772
NBD_SWAP=Y
NBD_PORT=9572

---
$ netstat -l|grep 9572
tcp 0 0 *:9572 *:* LISTEN
lns@sequoiaubuntu:~$ telnet localhost 9572
Trying 127.0.0.1...

Copied to hardy-updates.

I've verified that this fix is present in intrepid, since intrepid's ltsp is based on that in hardy-proposed.

ltsp (5.0.40~bzr20080212-0ubuntu7) hardy-proposed; urgency=low

  * add jetpipe to ltsp-client-core binary package (LP: #224259)
  * fix default port for NBD_PORT, so NBD_SWAP=Y works without setting the
    port explicitly (LP: #235772)
  * dont try to install xubuntu-artwork-usplash if universe is not enabled
    (LP: #221894)
  * add /root to rw_dirs so LDM_DIRECTX works if people froce nfsroot use
    (LP: #234006)
  * fix ltsp-update-image manpage to list all options (LP: #222524)
  * make sure the users XKBOPTIONS setting in lts.conf overrides console-setup
    (partially LP: #199675)
  * add support for ten options to adjust monitor settings in xorg.conf
    (X_MONITOR_OPTION_01-10) to make things like 'Option "DPMS" "off"'
    available through lts.conf (partially LP: #199675)
  * make sure X_MOUSE_DEVICE is properly quoted if added to xorg.conf
    (partially LP: #199675)
