With this configuration you need to be running xdm on both ego and vvs, but you don't want it to manage the local display on ego; you may also opt not to have it manage the display on vvs. Comment out the line in /etc/X11/Xservers that points to the localhost (display :0) as necessary. You should then be able to run $ X -indirect ego on ego to display a chooser menu (if ego doesn't have a "*" entry to allow it to respond, it may fall straight through to an XDM login window for vvs). If you don't want ego on the menu, you can add a * CHOOSER BROADCAST entry to vvs's Xaccess file and run $ X -indirect vvs instead. You then don't need XDM on ego at all. If all you want is a login window for vvs, you should be able to bypass the chooser and just go $ X -query vvs John P. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Oh - I - you know - my job is to fear everything." - Bill Gates in Denmark
