I work at a university and I have very little control of my environment. I have managed to get Clonezilla pxe booting without running a DHCP server by following this guide https://www.cs.drexel.edu/node/14930. The problem I running into now is that I have to specify to udp-sender and udp-receiver the ttl, and the multicast-all-addr. This has not been a problem on the sender side because I can specify these options in /opt/drbl/conf/drbl-ocs.conf. Then when I run /opt/drbl/sbin/dcs and then ps aux | grep udp I can see that all the correct options are being used. Now when I also specify those optons for the client like this: udp_receiver_extra_opt_default="-ttl 16 -mcast-all-address 224.77.0.0" in that same file they are not passed on.
I know this because when I boot the client then ssh into it and run ps aux | grep udp I see that it is using the default options of -ttl 1 -multicast-all-addr 224.0.0.1
So my question is: How can I make the client use different options for udp-receiver?
