-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, how do I get kdm to listen to xdmcp requests on Suse 8.1? I have already changed /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc section [xdmcp] to Enable=true and Port=177 but noone is listening on UDP port 177 after restarting kdm. I also tried xdm. It started to answer xdmcp requests after deleting DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 from /usr/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config as expected but I want to use kdm. Thanks, Torsten -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+HwxLwicyCTir8T4RAuexAJ4kxe1jS3wF+55WfqBcFanhkvHDQQCePjIH Td3z17f8qXwhjIpcnoTKfqo= =BeN+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Let SuSE change those files! ;P 1. Of course you made backups of the files you changed, so restore the files you've changed (all!). 2. Open /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager with a text-editor (e.g. mc, vi, etc.) 3. Locate the variable "DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS". I suppose it's value is set to "no". Change it to "yes". 4. Save the file. 5. Run SuSEconfig. It will make the changes for you (except firewall, I think). Done! If you have a firewall running, shut it down first(!) before you try. If you can get a connection, you can restart the firewall again, and start to worry about what ports to open (I believe 177, and 6000-min(6063, num_of_x_displays-1), and perhaps FW_ALLOW_FW_BROADCAST="yes" in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall). I believe it's also possible to tunnel an X connection through ssh, but I don't know how to do it. Maybe someone else can fill that in. Cheers, Leen
