simple xdm setup

2002-12-23 Thread Shvetima Gulati 

Hi all,
  I want to set up my X configuration as follows:

1) I want all clients (people) to log in to machine 'Server'using the GUI
login.This brings them to their desktop. Typically these people are on
windows machines running X servers such as eXceed or X-Win32. Some might
be tunneling through ssh (port forwarding)so they would need to connect to
local displays?
2) There is no physical keyboard or mouse attached to 'Server'
3) for administration purposes the command line is adequate, so there is
no need for a GUI console.

Essentially I want the PCs to function like dumb terminals running X
displays. This is a fairly common scenario right ? How do I set up xdm for
this?

I searched the web but clear info was very sparse for FreeBSD (I am on
4.6.2).

All pointers/help appreciated.
Thanks,
Shv.

port forwarding

2002-11-21 Thread Shvetima Gulati 

Hi all,

What is the easiest way of forwarding a port in FreeBSD. Suppose I want
my server to listen on port 8280, but want all connection attempts to port
80  to be forwarded to this port ... can that be done?

Thanks,
Shv
