Greetings:
We need a method of learning the ip address of the client in a telnet
session to a Win2k Server SP3 host; the information will be used in
the user's ~/.profile to set the DISPLAY variable prior to starting
an X session.
On Unix one may use 'lsof' (if available) and grep on the shell
Thanks for your reply.

Any reason you can't grep the output of tlntadmn to get what you need?
By the way, when I run tlntadmn /? I get:

The X-terminals to be supported don't du ssh; also the intent here
is to provide a nearly seamless login requiring only the
user to enter uid and passwd to get a session, which in

Is this an ACL or file locking issue?

Just reporting progress on making a working XDM for Cygwin/XFree86

Greetings:
X-terminals will need to connect to the Win2k box using something
other than XDM (until it works) so one must consider telnet or
rsh. The native windows telnet daemon is supposed to set
environment vars HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH which can then be used
by the system login script

Earle,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, rdesktop on Unix works well for us too
but we need to build a standalone Win2k-serving-Xterminals-with-
Windows-Desktop-sessions solution. Other than Citrix, rdesktop seems
to be the only alternative??

Just a couple of quick thoughts here..

Indeed, this was never the intent

Hi again,
Even if rdesktop has some server type mode, it wouldn't let you share

and doesn't send events or examine non X windows...
Let me clarify how we're using 'rdesktop.exe' (and rdesktop on Unix)
