I've been following this thread because I was trying to set up XDMCP. I ended up getting the TightVNC/Gnome Remote Desktop to work properly, but I would much rather have XDMCP. So far, I log in as root, open a terminal, and use the gdmsetup process to get the Gnome Login Window Preferences configuration dialog. I then click on the Remote tab and select "Same as Local" from the drop down menu. A button named "Configure XDMCP" should appear at the bottom of the window. When clicked, a bunch of miscellaneous options are shown, but note the UDP port 177. That should be open on the firewall along with ports 6000 through 6005 (or something like that). I simply used the defaults. Next, click on the Security tab at the top of the dialog window (after closing the "Configure XDMCP" dialog). I unchecked the "Deny TCP connections to Xserver" (though I think this is not necessary). Then, click on the bottom button named "Configure X Server". You need to have at least one Xserver available for remote connections. This is where I get stuck. Using Xming on Windows XP, I was able to connect to the Xserver and get the grey root screen, but that is it. Also, I am using GDM as a display manager. I have found no good HOWTO's yet, so help would be appreciated. The Help is fairly descriptive, but does not walk you through the process. Finally, the X manual pages describe how to setup XDM, but so far I have not tried that approach. Hopefully this is helpful to the original poster of this thread. -Michael S.

It's not polite. -Garrett Sorry for putting it so bluntly but I was trying to get a message across. Hijacking others threads unfortunately results in 2 things happening: 1. Posters getting confused. 2. Mailman getting confused and continuing the existing thread of discussion off the original thread -- which is harder to navigate in the archives. As for remote access tools, look into nomachinex, X11 forwarding and VNC. There's a variety of discussion in the archives (last discussion on this topic was back in either April or May I think..).

Emails actually kinda keep track of whether they're in response to other emails, ane which emails those are. Many of us use mail clients that make use of that to enhance our ability to deal with email efficiently, and when you hit "reply" when you're starting a whole new discussion topic you end up with your email being slotted into a "thread" dedicated to a different topic. As such, you end up "hijacking a thread". Rule of thumb: Unless you're actually replying to something someone else said, don't use the "reply" button in your email client. As for your question: read up on "X forwarding" with the "ssh" tool. If you need further help beyond that, *please* start a new thread and ask there. I'll try to keep an eye out for such a thread so I can reply if I have some help to offer. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Baltasar Gracian: "A wise man gets more from his enemies than a fool from his friends." ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- Atenciosmente Mario Augusto Mania --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cel.: (43) 9938-9629 Msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
