Yeah, I think they call them "compact disks" or something like that ;-)


On a serious note, I have a question: I'm trying this:
X :1 -query hostname

But it only gives me a default X screen with our friendly X-shaped cursor
... no xdm login screen. I'm actually trying it out on the BYU CS [pizza]
servers ... I remember doing it before [pre-mission] at it worked fine. I
even checked /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess on the CS computers and it looks ok. I
do get some "XDM: Too many retransmissions" error on my side ... is my
connection just too slow or something?

Also, is there a way to encrypt the connection, apart from loading a full
X session here and then simply running each program via a ssh login?
(I.e., I want my window manager, etc., to all run on the remote
terminal--I just want my computer to be a dumb terminal.)

Any suggestions?
