Hello all, I am answering on the list to a question I received in my personal mailbox. First of all there is a word to everyone using the SuSE list: Please don't send any email to my sacrosanct mailbox. The mailing list is there for a good holy reason. People is getting a the bad habit to send mails out of the mailing list: a) you exclude others from the honor of following, participate, and learn; b) you fill my personal mailbox Second, here goes your answer... Perhaps someone in the list knows a better solution... I don't know what differences are with the SuSE ES but as long as it follows the rc.conf and the SuSEconfig way of life this may apply... When SuSEConfig configures your system checks for the variables set in /etc/rc.config (from 8.0 it is in /etc/sysconfig). Usually the scripts do something like: if variable = 'yes' then apply config Thus, in case the variable is empty or doesn't exist the SuSEconfig will bypass this setup. This answers to your question: if you don't have this variable in rc.config, it the same as you had "variable = no". If you don't find the variable just add a new line at the end of your rc.config. If you want to check, look in /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.kdm2 lines 157-179, here the variable $DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS (read from rc.config) is used: if [ "`echo $DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`" == "yes" ]; the REMOTELOGIN='-e s/^Enable=.*/Enable=true/' else REMOTELOGIN='-e s/^Enable=.*/Enable=false/' fi Best Regards, Pep Serrano.

Pep,
I don't have this parameter in my rc.config. I'm running SuSe Enterprise Server 7. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Jon.

Jon,
If I undertood right you want to access your X remotely? By default SuSE comes with remote X closed. Have a look to your /etc/rc.config
# # Allow remote access to your display manager (kdm only for now) # DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="no"
Anyway do not recommend you open this unless you are in a truted network behind a FW. You may better forward your X through SSH. I do use SecureCRT in W2K to forward the X through SSH and I use Hummingbird as the local Xserver.
Best regards, Pep Serrano.
