As default they are named ts_. “ts_” is defined in thinstation.conf by the NET_HOSTNAME entry. You may change this, but if you use more than three characters the MAC address will be truncated. However, you may make the file thinstation.hosts in the root directory (where the kernel and the image is) to link a name with the MAC-address. The syntax is: # You can have any amount of spaces/tabs between names # HOST MAC GROUPS COMMENTS bigboss 000103014152 printer hires # On Miles Desk daffy 0060082FCBE8 # Daffy’s workstation donald 00A02403B0BE printer # Donald’s workstation This will name the clients bigboss, daffy and donald.
