Bug Description

This is a bug report on ltsp-client-core in version 5.1.90-0ubuntu3 under Ubuntu 9.10.

The script /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/udhcp is not robust enough if it receives from the dhcp server more than one ntp server (stored in ntpsvr), which happens in our local installation where ntpsvr eventually holds four space-separated ip addresses of ntp servers.

This causes problems in /conf/param.conf, generated by the function export_configuration() in udhcp because something like
export NTPSVR=IP1 IP2 IP3 IP4 is not a valid shell command.

This results in /init aborting and the kernel panics.
