Indeed, it is only necessary to enter an IP address instead of "LDM_SERVER=${SERVER}" in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/lib/ltsp/screen.d/ldm. I installed ldm on another machine and got the login screen. But then I receive this message:
"This workstation isn't authorized to connect to server" There is already a workaround for this if you use a normal ltsp-server. But the machine ldm is supposed to connect with is not the ltsp server in my case. How does ssh authentications work with ldm? How can I fix the problem described above? If this is solved and one is able to login on another machine, it should be possible to build a program so one can choose a machine. thanks peter ---------------------------------------- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 16:24:51 +0200 > Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] Xsession to another machine (not ltsp-server) with > ldm? > > > Hi, > > now sound and localdevs work, I am going to face the real problems.
