I know how to have xdm use the indirect and chooser features to work with external X terminals and determine where they go. Works great, but it leaves me with a simple question ...
Is there a clean way to specify that the locally managed display should be indirected (like a terminal would be) for the option of attaching it elsewhere instead of locally ? I can do it by disabling it in xdm and putting a line in the inittab, but the authentication stuff is a pain and I'm assuming there must be a better way of setting it all up. Separately to that, the X traffic of a remoted display is not normally encrypted. Sometimes that is important. Is there a clean way to have that local X display make its connection to the remote machine using (for example) ssh -X ? I know how to do it manually, with some extra scripting, but I was hoping that there was something packaged for this. Alex.
