Maybe I'm just in a bad mood this morning, but I'm going to take you to task for this. See, common courtesy demands that, if you're asking people to do something that YOU don't know how to do, being flippantly insulting isn't the way to endear yourself to people. You're already down a karma point with me. Oh, and 3 posts to the mailing list in less than a day? Also bad. Guess what? Some of us have other things to do besides idle on the mailing list all day, waiting for Steve Berthiaume (oh, by the way, you might want to check your mail client's config. I think it's pretty well standard in most of the world to capitalize your own name) to have a problem. In general, waiting at least 24-48 hours for a reply is usually considered the minimum amount of time to wait. So, down two Karma points. However, seeing as how helping people is what I do, here's the answer: Yes, XDMCP is installed by default, it's just not enabled. So, in fact, the forum people are correct. To ENABLE xdmcp, either: 1) Exit the /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file, see the [xdmcp] section, or: 2) As an administrative user, go to the System menu, and click on: System -> Administration -> Login Window At this point, you'll be asked for your password, enter it, and the window for configuring gdm will pop up. You want the "remote" tab at the top. Pop down the Style dropdown, and change from "Remote login disabled" to "Same as Local". Consider yourself enlightened. On more than one issue. Scott -- Scott L.
