[SLUG] gdm displays
I have posted another question earlier on gdm but still need some help. I have two RH 6.2 boxes, both running gdm linked together on a private network. I would like to be able to log into either box from a single workstation. I have read as much as I could on X, gdm, etc. and still cannot figure out how to do it, if it can be done. >From my Windows box, I can see both hosts via xdmcp using XWin32 but I cannot figure out how to do the same with Linux. Many thanks if someone can help. Dennis -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
RE: [SLUG] gdm displays
If I understand this correctly, you want to view gdm through a linux box? If so, try ORL VNC, do a search on altavista with those words and access the .uk site only. the reason i say that is the others could be security risks, im not sure but never visited them.

Okay, GDM is a bit of a mess at the moment. :) Red Hat shipped a beta2 version of it, whilst Ximian has a beta4 version of it, and the current maintainer (George Lebl, who was out here for lca) is having a whale of a time getting it up to speed for the Gnome 1.4 release. Essentially, XDMCP has been broken and fixed in so many versions, with so many patches not provided for upstream, that it's unsurprising you're having trouble. Which version of GDM are you running? Best bet is to grab the latest Ximian one, and see how that goes. - Jeff -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- http://linux.conf.au/ -- I get my kicks above the .sigline, sunshine. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] gdm displays
Nope...I want to use X to view the display from the other box, not VNC.
