There are a number of ways to do this, XDMCP is one of them, but ssh -X is preferred, and ultimately much easier. > I *think* I need to put X -query ip.of.box.d somewhere > on boxes a, b and c.

If you really must use XDMCP, you'll have to edit /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc, and add: -query <IP> to the list of commands already there, then setup X on the client machines to broadcast to that address, exporting their $DISPLAY as appropriate. -- Thomas Adam ===== "The Linux Weekend Mechanic" -- http://linuxgazette.net "TAG Editor" -- http://linuxgazette.net "<shrug> We'll just save up your sins, Thomas, and punish you for all of them at once when you get better.
