Presumably you want a remote connection to the graphical login window (kdm) Message I got from Colin McKinnon six weeks ago: ----------------------------------------------- Hi Ray, I solved the VNC thing - the problem was that although I get a VNC session runing after I was logged into the computer, I wanted to be able to initiate the session via VNC (which doesn't have intrinsic support for usernames and PAM). All I needed to do was to enable the vnc service in xinetd.d and startup xinetd. Hey presto - KDM. (OK, its probably not as efficient as using the X Window protocol for writing changes to the terminal screen, but it saves a lot of fiddling about with fonts and colourmaps) Colin ----------------------------------------------- This refers to the KDE 3.1.3 on SuSE 8.2 > To make matters more difficult, I want to route the display back to a > windows machine if possible. Does anybody know if (and how) I can do this? Use TightVNC on the MS-Win box (we were calling them windows on graphical BSD boxes before there was such a thing as MS-DOS ..... when I were a lad....) and all will be well. It really is easy. Hmm Kmail isn't handling replying to a list very well. No its the lug mailman omitting the "Reply-To:" header. -- ray _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
