X session on remote client
Hi, OK, I know I could hunt down the info but:- I have an LTSP server running beautifully. I have a distinct workstation not part of the LTSP setup. How do I start the client workstation running an X session on the LTSP server? Thanks! -- Best wishes, Derek

As a one-off: X :1 -broadcast or X :1 -query ltsp_server_address depending on whether you want to broadcast to find the server or not. Easiest way to set this as a permanent feature is (probably) to edit /etc/inittab: you should have a line near the end that looks something like x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon Change this to x:5:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/X -broadcast (or something similar).

Many thanks to Michael, Kevin and the others who offered methods. I chose the one above because it allows me to run more than one X session (ie local and remote) which is ideal. -- Best wishes, Derek
