According to the Linux XDMCP howto, it isn't possible to forward XDMCP over SSH because XDMCP uses UDP. You could ssh to the remote system with X forwarding and start the session manually. The X server would be started without any clients or window manager; you might have to adjust authorization to allow the remote machine to connect. - Ian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.znark.com/
