Re: Remote X login (SOLVED)
It's a good bet that this is a Caldera-Specific thing. Has anyone seen this on other distros?

Re: Remote X login (SOLVED)
I'm still not there yet: I am attempting to start the remote X session in runlevel 5 by using the following command: X :1 -query www.xxx.yyy.zzz I see the following in response after all the X messages (screen size, refresh,etc..): AUDIT: Sat Nov 3 09:07:11 2001: 1550 X: client 1 rejected from IP port 42502 Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 On the remote system, I see this in /var/log/messages: Nov 3 10:18:56 gandalf kdm[5367]: server open failed for elandyl:1, giving up Nov 3 10:18:56 gandalf kdm[31019]: Display elandyl:1 cannot be opened Any Ideas? It's like my local box is rejecting the remote system's attempts to give me a login screen. My next step is to make this a part of the bootup (dual X, one remote). Would this be best achieved by entering the following as the next line in Xservers? :1 /X :1 -query gandalf (or IP address) Thanks.

Re: Remote X login (SOLVED)
Was this just enabled in eD and eS? I know that I never had to do that back then... All I had to do there was uncomment the "*" line in Xaccess.

Re: Remote X login (SOLVED)
At the bottom of the /opt/kde2/share/config/kdm/kdmrc file is this section: [Xdmcp] Enable=false KeyFile=/etc/X11/kdm/xdm-keys Willing= Xaccess=/etc/X11/kdm/Xaccess I changed the "Enable=false" to "true", restarted X and lo and behold, the kdm login screen appeared on my son's PC. Should this info be put on the KDE pages? This is KDE 2.2.1 specific. I've seen no other documetnation anywhere that mentions that the kdmrc file needs to be edited to enable remote logins. There's no SxS for Remote X logins, either, but this sure seems to be SxS fodder. If the powers that be feel it's worthy of its own page, I'll write something up.
