tnx
I set-up it one with vnc and fvwm and it's working fine, even I want to try FreeNX one of these days. The scope wa to allow users to log in to their X-Window desktop, in my case fvwm2, but could be KDE, Gnome, or other) via a display manager (in my case XDM, but could be GDM, KDM, or other). As you said, the first step is to go to Yast – Network Service and enable "Allow remote administration". This will install xinetd, tightvnc, org-x11, org-x11-Xvnc, and fvwm2, xinetd being used to start tightvnc automaticaly at boot and fvwm2 being used as the desktop manager (it's lighter than Gnome or Kde, therefore better for using through a VPN connection, which was my case. From what I heard, FreeNX should be better). You then need to modify xdm configuration in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config to listen to XDMCP requests as we want to manage X terminals with xdm !DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 You then need to assure also that hosts login are accepted with the following line in Xaccess: * #any host can get a login window In my set-up, I wanted to have fvwm2 automatically used when connecting via vnc, so I created a file with the name .xsession and containing the following line: exec fvwm2 At this point, you should be able to connect to the server with the vncviewer by going to your_ip_address::5901 or from the web by going to your_ip_address::5801 I hope it helps.
