How can I bring up a remote X desktop on a local machine running an X server?
I have xdm and Xfce installed on a remote Linux box. I also have an X11 server running on my Mac OS/X. How can I connect to the xdm that is running on the remote box?
I've been following these directions:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/procedure.html
of which the last lines state:
"Setup Hummingbird Exceed (or other X Client software) to either query this machine (using the IP address or fully qualified DNS name) or set to use XDMCP-Broadcast and try to connect to the X Server. You should see the X Session come up and the login screen appear."
So, how do I query the machine? Do I start an xterm on they local X server? If so, what then?
BTW, ssh'ing to the linux box and remotely displaying an xterm works just fine:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ssh -f -X [EMAIL PROTECTED] xterm
Still googling.
