I've just updated to OpenSuSE 11.1 and noticed that the version of gdm it contains lacks many features, so I wanted to replace it with xdm. Previously I used gdm to have three workstations running X servers and display a host chooser on their displays, so that on each of the three machines there was a list displayed containing all three of them, and one was able to log into any of them from there. With gdm it was pretty straightforward, but I'm having problems to configure a similar chooser logins with xdm. Does anyone have a working xdm configuration that works similarly? Any help would be appreciated.
Check /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager ... set DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS to "yes" and if you want to allow root you should also set DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE to "yes" ... then run /etc/X11/xdm/SuSEconfig.xdm now have a look into /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess ... you should have at least a wildcard in the line for CHOOSER and BROADCAST. After all you should restart xdm. With e.g. X :1 -indirekt host should should be able to connect where "host" is the name of the host you have checked. With X :1 -broadcast all X servers providing XDMCP will be shown.
