I have not actually looked used the LSTP yet (although I have known about it for some time), but my experience in setting up X-Terminals is that, yes, the server needs to be running xdm, kdm or gdm, and to have all files in place so that it can run X. However, it does not actually need to run X itself. In a standard RedHat setup, you can edit the xdm config files so that runlevel 5 starts xdm but not actually X. If using xdm or kdm, edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. If using gdm, edit the [servers] section of /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf. > Please refer to the LTSP documentation, specifically section 6 > Trouble shooting > > (the answer to my problem lay in 6.6.1 point 1) > > http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/ltsp-3.0.0/ltsp-3.0.html#AEN707 > > Cheers! > Ari > > Quoting Ole Schelde <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > Why do you want the SME server to run X?

However, for an X-Terminal to log onto the server via an XDMCP session, the server needs to have everything in place so that it can run X. Having said all this, and having wondered about adding X to SME myself, I personally came to the conclusion that if you are going to add X to SME then you may as well stick to a full-blown standard distribution. But if someone wants to work on it, I'd be happy to provide some feedback / testing and possibly even contribute a little. :-) Rasjid. -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
