If u're using GDM from GNOME2, here's a workaround: under [xdmcp] session: DisplaysPerHost=2 (that gives you 2 tries in 5 minutes... It's really a hard work - hanging linux 2 times in 5 minutes - isn't it?) It also make your LTSP less secure... but, really, in my case I don't care. On the network it's running there ain't no anti-trusting people, and the connection to the internet is pretty secure too (a BSD firewall). You should use this with GDM2 or GDM, but I think this is the main idea if you try it on KDM or XDM... Alas, anybody here knows of any Display Manager excepting those 5? (Gdm, gdm2, kdm, xdm and wdm) Luck Danilo ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
