lts.conf settings being ignored

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

On the server:
==============
Set a root password in the chroot:
$ sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 passwd
Update the image:
$ sudo ltsp-update-image
Get the lts.conf md5sum:
$ md5sum /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf

On a client:
============
Press Alt+Ctrl+F1. Login as root. There, run:
# getltscfg -a
# md5sum /etc/lts.conf

Send us the result of the last 3 commands.
Also, which tftp server and what version?
