What I wan tis relatively simple.
however I can't seem to get it quite right..
I have 4 machines that can run X clients and sessions
I have one machine that has an X server.
I would like to have XDM throw up a chooser menu that contains all 5
machines.
I can get the 4 machines, but the 5th
says "unwilling".
OR with a change of Xaccess I can get the single machine...
ok... examples with 1 possible client machine and one Xserver machine
scenario 1
on client.. Xaccess:
--
*
--
Xservers:
---
empty file (except comments)
---
Xdm is running:
xdm_config:
----
...
!DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
----
on server:
Xaccess:
---
* CHOOSER localhost client
---
Xservers:
----
empty file
----
Xdm running
xdm_config:
----
...
!DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
----
Result:
If I type
X -indirect localhost
I get a menu of machines..
'client'
'localhost'
localhost says "not willing to [rest truncated on window]"
client says it is available.
If I click on client.. nothing happens
ditto for localhost.
----------
Scenareo 2
change the local Xaccess to show:
'*'
if I do:
X -indirect localhost
I get a blank X server display
if I do:
X -query localhost
I get the regular xdm screen and everything works as normal, except
that I never get the oportunity to start a session to another machine.
I know I've seen this working once... but it wasn;tme that set it up...
Anyone have xdm clues?
