SCREEN_07 = startx (I think this is still supported) This may let you use slim. By default, SCREEN_07 is probably set like: SCREEN_07 = LDM Note that for "startx" to work, you need to have XDMCP enabled on the server. I'm not sure how to do that in slim, if it is even supported at all. If it does work, I don't think you need to mess with the keys at all, as XDMCP sends everything over the network unencrypted. But maybe somebody else on the list has more knowledge about this. Note that you can lighten things up a little bit, while still using LDM, by specifying in lts.conf: LDM_DIRECTX = true This eliminates encryption of server-client traffic, which could possibly earn you the same performance gain you are hoping to obtain by using slim. -Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
