I had some trouble getting a Mandrake 9.0 installation to act as an "application server" accessed from an X terminal. I finally got it working -- I found that kdm (or xdm or gdm) was not running (even though I was using kde locally (on that machine) just fine.
I started kdm, and after a few false starts, was able to connect from a remote X terminal. (Prior to any of this, I had gotten a Knoppix installation to work as an application server, and had gone through the drill of commenting and uncommenting the appropriate lines in /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess, .../xdm-config, and /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc ([Xdmcp]=false to true).) Two questions: 1. Is this the intended behavior in Mandrake, or should this be logged as a bug? 2. Where is the most appropriate place (file) to add the kdm command so it restarts on every boot, etc.? Thanks! I am still subscribed to this mailing list, and will try to scan for a response (I'll try to find a "watch this thread" setting or similar), but with the high traffic on this list, I would appreciate an email cc. regards, Randy Kramer
