I'm trying to get xdmcp access from an suse-9.0 to a suse-9.2 system. I do not succeed and wonder why...
On the 9.2 (destination) box the following settings are made: in /etc/sysconf/displaymanager DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="yes" DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE="yes" DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN="yes"
In /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers and /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xservers: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br vt7 :1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br :1 vt8 :2 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br :2 vt9 :3 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br :3 vt10 :4 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br :4 vt11 :5 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br :5 vt12
With those settings I expect xdcmp to work, but no.... Oh the command I use on the from box is: X -query 192.168... :1
vt08 shows the grey X background and I can move the mouse, but that's about it. After some time the X times out.... Anything I can try?
I tried that once with a fellow in the USA, but did not succeed, on the local net it works. Perhaps an easier (and faster) solution is to use knx/NX/FreeNX? If you really want to try this, I could lend you a hand if you like. If it does not work with kdm, or gdm, you should try xdm. That usually does work. /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager: DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="yes" and perhaps: /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager: DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN="yes" but _read_ the comment.
