[Bug 1008618] Re: ltsp-cluster SERVER variable is overwritten by ltsp_config file.

** Changed in: ltsp (Ubuntu Precise)
   Importance: Low => Medium

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  when booting a ltsp-cluster thin client I am unable to get my configuration because the variable SERVER is overwritten by the file /var/cache/ltsp/ltsp_config.
  
  So we need to rename SERVER to CC_SERVER in getltscfg-cluster for it to
  work properly.
  
  [test case]
  configure your chroot to use ltsp-cluster.
  run getltscfg-cluster -a
  
  the server that it tryed to contact is the nbd-server
  
  [regression potential]
  None : The variable for the ltsp-cluster is changed to CC_SERVER in the script and configuration for ltps-cluster.
  
+ [development fix]
+ I know this section is deprecated but it's actually relevant in this case ;)
+ The fix hasn't hit quantal yet because of some massive packaging rework going on with LTSP to try and bring us in sync with Debian. I can guarantee that we will have a new upstream release in quantal that will include this fix. ETA is of a couple of weeks.

  thanks
