G'day all ,
I asked about this a while ago and have seen a few queries about it
since I have a solution...
I originally just wanted to be able to connect to another linux box and use
my desktop as a dumb Xterminal but I realised it would be great if I could get
my desktop to run the chooser and allow me to choose between the desktop and
the server and maybe a few others.
there are lots of docs on how to get the first option but I couldn't find
any on the second (ie running the chooser on the local machine and being able
to use it as the Xserver)
Here's how I did it...
/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess
#
%HOSTS server.domain.edu.au local.domain.edu.au
local.domain.edu.au CHOOSER %HOSTS
local.domain.edu.au
#
/etc/inittab
#
x:5:respawn:/usr/X11/bin/X -terminate -indirect local.domain.edu.au
#
I hope this helps someone.
