Today, the default for remote X11 sessions is to start a local X server, ssh into a remote host and start the x11 app.
At a previous employer, we ran Hummingbird X11 on the desktops and had icons on our desktops for XTerm sessions on the various UNIX servers (Solaris). For example, double the icon for xterm on server abc123, and an xterm window opened and you then logged into the server, not that different from using putty.
For the sake of learning, I'm looking to create a similar setup at home between my desktop with xming and my home centos 5 server, but I haven't had much luck finding any info. The closest thing I can find is enabling GDM with XDMCP, but that's more than what I'm looking for. I just want xterm, not a full desk top.
Does anyone have any info on setting up such a configuration? Maybe this was/is a Solaris specific thing?
