When the xdm login screen appears, there is no LTSP logo appearing. I saw
the script file in /etc/X11/xdm that changes the login screen appearance,
but I don't know what script calls this script.
How do I diagnose the problem?

In thise case, /etc/inittab was modified so that xdm is started instead of
prefdm. Where it said /etc/X11/prefdm, it now has /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm.
We tried using the netstat command to see if there is a XDCMP connection to
the client, but there is none. For some reason, xdm is not starting up

John,
Just wondering, what do you have installed locally on the
workstation, in terms of Linux? Anything? I am planning to provide
access to local hardware (printer, floppy, CDROM) and I am hoping
to do that without the need of the local hard drive.
Thanks,
Gerry

Okay, I think I'm getting my head around this, but let's check just for
fun. :)
When setting up an X environment for users, choices for the following
components need to be made:
1) display manager: XDM, GDM (Gnome) or KDM (KDE)
2) window manager : Sawfish (Gnome), KDE, IceWM, others

IceWM does seem like a nice desktop, and configuration is relatively
straightforward.
Thanks for the tip,

I think it depends on how many users you want to support. I haven't looked
into the costs that closely. A friend of mine was saying about U.S. $700,
but I don't know what you get for that.
