Hello Community

We are releasing an update to our last packages, the additions and
fixes to this release are:

- Added support for basic load balancing cluster using get_hosts, add
MY_SERVER_LIST="space separated IP addresses of servers"
  All the servers should be using single authentication such as LTSP
with /home on shared storage, of course they also need sshd running
and firewall disabled. Credits to LTSP documentation and Shrek.

- Added all the cluster packages from https://wiki.stgraber.org/LTSP-Cluster
  As I have no idea how to get those working, need someone smarter
than me to figure it out and post a howto for us all.
  The basic I understand is install all those packages on a primary
server, lbagent package on the secondary servers, change
/etc/sysconfig/kiwi-ltsp CLUSER="1" and run "kiwi-ltsp-setup -c". The
client image has all that is required to use cluster.
  For cluster-control, start apache and point your browser to
http://localhost/ltspc, follow the instructions there to set up
postgresql database.
  This work is thanks to stgraber and his team.

- Fixed hostname generation on the client
