The xterm can be started with: X -broadcast X -query ipaddress The first goes looking for an xdm machine that is broadcasting it's presence, the second just connects straight to that machine. The machine you are connecting to has xdm, gdm or kdm running not the xterm itself. broadcast is an extra (xkg)dm option that should not be turned on by default. Put the chooser on a main machine if you want, not on the client xterm. If you want to select from multiple machines then there is a couple of ways to set that up. If you want I can look up the notes from Granville TAFE, lcdp.sf.net. > Just out of curiosity I tried running a Solaris dtsession redisplayed > to a Red Hat Linux X session but it was not entirely satisfactory -- > running the > individual applications was better as Gnome positions things better > when it has full control of the desktop (funny bout that). I use dtsession from AIX all the time: X -query aix I then get to sign onto the AIX machine. It looses a lot of functionality and things just don't really work well.
