Hi everyone, I'm trying to teach myself how to build a small "thin client" network. As a first step I'm trying to create a simple X terminal. This terminal is a computer with a Debian base install plus an xserver and thats about all. If I type X at the prompt I get the stippled grey screen with an X cursor. On the computer representing the "server" running a fairly comprehensive Debian install I have edited two files to allow the X terminal to connect.
/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess has had the line (formerly) #* #any host can get a login window un commented to * #any host can get a login window and /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config has had the last line commented out. It now reads: ! DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 If on the "X terminal" box I now type X -query 192.168.0.5 I get the grey screen as before not the login screen I was hoping for. After killing X with ctrl+alt+bacspace the underlying messages give no hint of any problem and I cannot see anything in the logs on the "sever" either. What other files should I edit to enable me to see the login screen? Ken -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
