I am using X-Win32 to access my Solaris and SUSE server from Wintel machines. I have the Solaris box configured in a way where it boots to text login, but it is still running the server needed for the X-Win32 server to hook into the XDMCP on the box. I want to do the same thing with my SuSE machines.
Presently I am booting to text mode, but the machine is not allowing remote machines to nook into them via XDMCP. How do I configure SuSE to do that?
Hi Sam! Must go very straight. On your SuSE-machine: 1. Set the variable DISPLAYMANAGER in your /etc/rc.config to either "xdm" or "kdm" 2. Comment out the lines concerning your local display (lines beginning with :0 local) in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers 3. Uncomment the (last?) line in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config concerning your DisplayManager.requestPort and set it to 177 4. Run SuSEconfig 5. Restart either xdm (/sbin/init.d/xdm restart) or the whole machine 6. Enjoy it! I suppose for the above that you havenŽt changed these files after your installation in any way else. It should work with the defaults of the distribution. Of course, the xdm-package should be installed :) So long, JLT -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
