Just to add to that, you can also do it in a window with Xnest. I know there is also something similar called Xephyr, but I'm not really sure what's different about it.

Hi everybody, I want to enter from a local machine using lightdm manager, to a remote server using XDMCP. I do it with a thin client, I mean on a thin client I have the list of all servers running XDMCP. I want to do the same, from an old PC that I want to use as a simple terminal. unfortunatly, in the login window I have only local accounts on my local machine, is it possible to customize the login window of lightdm to allow access to a remote server running XDMCP? thanks for help best regards

The first result on a web search for lightdm xdmcp (no quotes) suggests to add [XDMCPServer] enabled=true to your /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, then restart lightdm. You can also add and XDM-AUTHENTICATION-1 key by adding key=XX (where XX is either a hex value 0xnn or a word), and specify a port using port=XX (default 177). thanks for help best regards signature.asc Description: Digital signature
