I have 2 PC's, both running SuSE-6.0 and having mutual access via NFS. I would like the second PC (the smaller one) to behave as an X-terminal to the first one. How do I do that?

Using telnet would be a possibility, but then I need two login sessions, one into the second PC, and then with telnet to the first. I would like to go straight from xdm into the first PC.

We have a special package, called "xdmsc", which configures a SuSE Linux box as an X-Terminal. Just swith to runlevel 3 on your first computer and configure the second box as described in /usr/doc/packages/xdmsc/README

Great! That is exactly what I meant! Thank you. One related question: is there a way to find out at which terminal one is logging in, so that the xterm sizes, fonts etcetera can be set properly?
