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?
/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc [X-:0-Greeter] EnableChooser=true LogSource=/dev/xconsole ShowLog=true
[Xdmcp] Enable=true Willing=/etc/X11/xdm/Xwilling Xaccess=/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess
I once experimented with this, but with earlier SuSE-versions. So I try to help you a bit on your way and give a few hints. 1. Not quite sure but: a. YaST -> Security and Users -> Security settings b. [Local security configuration] Choose "Custom settings", click "Next" c. [Password settings] click "Next" d. [Boot settings] click "Next" ** e. [Login settings] Enable "Allow remote graphical login", click "Next" f. [Adding user settings" click "Next" g. [Miscellaneous settings" click "Finish" AFAIK now you should be able to login remotely, without a firewall. YaST (actually: SuSEconfig) will take care of the needed changes in the config files. 2. With a firewall: a. open ports tcp/udp 6000-6063 (x11), tcp/udp 177 (xdmcp) b. I remember vaguely an issue with broadcasts. I solved it with editing /etc/sysconfig/scripts/SuSEfirewall2-custom, 1st or 2nd function, allowing the broadcast (or so...). You don't need to open the full range of 6000-6063. A few will do, e.g. 6000-6003 or so. Watch the firewall logs (on both the client and the server). Hope this will get you on your way, Cheers, Leen
