I have two SuSE-8.2 boxes, machine-1.host and machine-2.host, and I'd like to use KDE on machine-2 from machine-1. Hence I've configured machine-2 such that it exports X, by setting

DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="yes"

and I've opened all SuSEfirewall ports to machine-1 on the machine-2 host by setting

FW_TRUSTED_NETS="IP of machine-1"

Now, what should I write in machine-1:/etc/inittab for a remote X session to machine-2 to start on tty8 when entering runlevel 5? Or can it be setup in some other fashion? I suppose SuSEconfig will overwrite /etc/inittab anyway?

Thanks in advance

Have you looked at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/index.html? This is aimed more at running Linux applications on Window. But it tells you most of the settings you need and where to look for more information.

Its also on your system if you installed the HOWTOs at file:/usr/share/doc/howto/en/html/XDMCP-HOWTO Stan
