I wrote much of that original text on the source code corner and was still missing something, until I got your other response on the AIX issue. It appears that the use "nobody" on Caldera is also one of those limited users like HP/UX. I didn't even think to try changing the user in my inetd configuration. I haven't gone back to try it on AIX yet. Thanks for the info.

If you follow the route in http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp then both xdm, kdm and gdm are configured. It just depends on the system settings which is used. For KDM, also the xdm settings need to be configured properly! > > I am up to the grey screen and nmap and netstat show kdm listening on > port 177 (xdmcp), but I still get the grey screen.

If the error messages indicate some security violation (not allowed or such) remove all security from the Xvnc call (see Xvnc --help for details) > > > Here is what I have done (that I can remember =97 ack!) > In /etc/X11/kdm: > - modify xdm-config and commented out the DisplayManager.requestPort > - modify Xaccess and uncommented the line: "* > =20 > #any host can get a login window" This is the only line > uncommented. > > In /etc/X11/xdm: > - modify xdm-config and commented out the DisplayManager.requestPort > - modify Xaccess and uncommented the line: "* > =20 > #any host can get a login window" This is the only line > uncommented. > > In /opt/kde2/share/config/kdm: are you sure on the location? > - edited kdmrc and enabled XDMCP on port 177 > > What else am I missing?

Either use 'killall kdm' or if no killall available, find the process id's for all kdm processes 'ps -ef | grep kdm' and 'kill -9 # # # #' The M$Windows solution here would be a restart, that will do too.
