At the bottom of the /opt/kde2/share/config/kdm/kdmrc file is this section: [Xdmcp] Enable=false KeyFile=/etc/X11/kdm/xdm-keys Willing= Xaccess=/etc/X11/kdm/Xaccess
I changed the "Enable=false" to "true", restarted X and lo and behold, the kdm login screen appeared on my son's PC. Should this info be put on the KDE pages? This is KDE 2.2.1 specific. I've seen no other documetnation anywhere that mentions that the kdmrc file needs to be edited to enable remote logins. There's no SxS for Remote X logins, either, but this sure seems to be SxS fodder. If the powers that be feel it's worthy of its own page, I'll write something up.
