Hello. Now I have my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xaccess contain (only) this: * CHOOSER BROADCAST
according to xdm(1) this will enable XDMCP host chooser upon user login. Now I reboot, xdm login box pops up, everything like it was before.
I think it means any host can connect and asks in a broadcast. If, on your network, a host does X -broadcast your machine will/may appear in the that machine's chooser list.
I don't really get you, I'm a xdm newbie;)
I am not sure of the inner machenism but in my local network (192.168.0.0/24) everyone in the office use gdm and turned on XDMCP, so you pick up a box with gdm login screen, select 'run host chooser' from 'system' menu, you will see all the computers in the office listed there and I can pick up one to login. I believe this means they are all broadcasting.
I don't know if it also allows an indirect request: X -indirect <your X host>
Oh, and take also a note of this in xdm-config file:
! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests ! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
What does this mean? I am running a slow box I don't need myself to be listed in the host chooser of other boxes, but I need to be able to login to other boxes.
