Well, that one is an easy one. In the file /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers,
just comment the line that starts an X-Server.
That's all. The xdm will be started and provide an XDMCP Based session
upon request.. You can reach that session with:
On your Work-System issuing a Broadcast with any kind of Software (Exceed,
XWin-32 etc), or if you have a Linux-System, issue a: X -query <router>
That'll start a remote X-Session.
Did that with 32 Users :) at my old Jobplace. Worked smooth... on a
372MBytes System, PII-500MHz :)))
