kdm setup for remote login

[Guido Van Hoecke]

Hi,

I have been reading man pages, the freebsd manual, kde.org (now
offline?) pages, I've been experimenting with different setups, but I
do not manage to setup X as I wish.

I have a server called beastie, and a desktop called wodan.

Both machines start kdm on ttyv8 and allow for local login.

When I use xfce4 on wodan (before I had ttyv8 on) and use xhost+, I
can ssh to beastie, setup display=wodan:0 and start e.g. emacs,
gnucash etc...

When I use kdm/kde on wodan, xhost+ isn't enough. I can still ssh to
beastie, but apps on beastie do not get acces to wodan:0, although
I've done xhost+ on wodan.

I do not know how to set up kde so that apps from another machine get
access to the display.

What I really would like, is to be able to login to beastie using the
wodan kdm. I have not been able to figure out how to do this.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Guido
