Xserver/Xclient side is still a bit confusing to me.
What happens is, when I logon to a solaris machine I get a login screen
on which I also can logon to remote machines graphicaly. I can even chose
from a list there, because these remote machines broadcast themselves?
All solaris machines are seen; my FreeBSD machines are not. The latter I
want changed, so I can chose to logon to a FreeBSD (remote) machine from
my solaris desktop machine. Hope this will clear things up a bit.
