Thorsten and Leendert, thank you both for your reply, but the problem persist. I must admit after receiving your replies that the description of what I had done was a little scarse... It seems that "allow remote access" is enabled by default. I exactly did not use the DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS variable, but enabled the settings in the config files in stead.... A "grep DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS *" in /sbin/conf.d shows what it confirms that I did the right thing (pfff ;). What I expect to appear here now, is an option at the login manager in the order of "remote login". However, the only option I get under the "menu" button is "restart X server". How disappointing :(( Is this a bug in kde, or is it something else?? <<== It would be nice to get this confirmed.... Op zondag 2 maart 2003 06:45, schreef Torsten Foertsch:
This is an exerpt of /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager: -------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Here you can set the default Display manager (kdm/xdm/gdm/wdm/console). # DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"
# # Allow remote access to your display manager (kdm only for now) # DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="yes" --------------------------------------------------------------------
The last line is what you want. Don't forget to run 'SuSEconfig --module xdm' after changing the file.
BTW, /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc is not really used. I have also stumbled around some time to find that. Suse have decided to use /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc instead.

Question about the activation of xdmcp in kde and its login manager.
After enabling xdmcp in suse-8.1 in kdmrc in the file: /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc, nothing shows up in kde login manager. Does anyone have succesfully activated this functionality in suse-8.1?
