The server needs to be setup to run xdm for either all hosts (nothing in Xaccess) or a list of hosts (in Xaccess). The server side of this is explained in the xdm man page and the mini-howto Xterminals (section 4). The latter is in /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini. Then the linux PC's intened to be the xdm clients just need to have X configured (there's a HOWTO in /usr/doc/HOWTO that tells how to do that). This needs to be done as though they were to run a "local" X session even if they won't. Once they're configured, just type (as per the man page for Xserver): X -query <hostname> or X -broadcast Does anyone know why debian doesn't have a man page for X? This drove me nuts until I found the Xserver man page. > > I have seen this done before, but I can't figure out how to make the > connection....can anyone help?? Let me know if you need more specific details, but please give the on-line docs a shot first.
