I have a Suse 9 SP3 64 bit host I've installed gdm via sunray server.
The default WM is KDE. What I'd like the login screen to allow is a
remote login to any machine eg broadcasting via XDMCP without first
logging in to this host.

Under CDE, this would be found under options-->remote host.
I've already modified gdm.conf with

Enable=True
Browser=true
ChooserButton=true

I've restarted X11 but see no difference. On this host I can xnest to
get a remote login display from the various target hosts so I know
they're running XDMCP.

What other steps do I need to take?

TIA


Assuming the other computers are configured for XDMCP, it's all ready there. I don't recall the exact details, as I don't have a SUSE box in front of me, but when you're at the login screen, look at the bottom left corner of the display. In the right section, there's the place where you select login type. Chose remote login.
