Re: Remote X login (SOLVED)
Was this just enabled in eD and eS? I know that I never had to do that back then... All I had to do there was uncomment the * line in Xaccess.

Re: Remote X login (SOLVED)
I'm still not there yet: I am attempting to start the remote X session in runlevel 5 by using the following command: X :1 -query www.xxx.yyy.zzz I see the following in response after all the X messages (screen size, refresh,etc..): AUDIT: Sat Nov 3 09:07:11 2001: 1550 X: client 1 rejected from IP remote ip port 42502 Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 On the remote system, I see this in /var/log/messages: Nov 3 10:18:56 gandalf kdm[5367]: server open failed for elandyl:1, giving up Nov 3 10:18:56 gandalf kdm[31019]: Display elandyl:1 cannot be opened Any Ideas? It's like my local box is rejecting the remote system's attempts to give me a login screen. My next step is to make this a part of the bootup (dual X, one remote). Would this be best achieved by entering the following as the next line in Xservers? :1 path-to-X/X :1 -query gandalf (or IP address) Thanks.

It's a good bet that this is a Caldera-Specific thing. Has anyone seen this on other distros?

The Server is the machine that you'll be logging into and who will be Serving the X session. The Client is the machine that you'll be logging in from, the one on whose screen X will be displayed.

Also, according to http://www.caldera-benelux.com/ta_xdmcp_support.html You need to add DisplayManager*chooser: /opt/kde2/bin/chooser (or whichever chooser you want to use, the link says to use /usr/X11R6/bin/chooser) to your xdm-config file on the server.

Regards, Tim Previously, I chose to write, but no one chose to respond: Hi folks, I'm trying to configure my network to allow remote logins from my son's Mandrake 8.0 PC to my COL 3.1 PC. I had this working when I was running eD2.4, and I don't remember it being all that difficult, but can't seem to accomplish the task using COL 3.1. I'm uncommented the line in 3.1's /etc/X11/kdm/Xaccess file so that any host can get a login window, and, for good measure, did it in the /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess file as well (I believe the new kdm in KDE2.2.1 uses pieces of xdm in some way). IIRC, that's the only file I need to do things to, correct? Or do I need to make an entry in my hosts.allow file? Do I need to add something to the kdmrc file? I don't remember having to do anything in that file last time. Anyway, making the one change has not given me a login on the remote PC, so there's something I'm missing. Any help appreciated.
