Here's an excerpt from a setup on a debian lenny server, should work with OpenBSD as well. If you need some more tipps or other configs I missed, just ask. Also note that XDMCP is no secure protocol. Only use it via trusted links. Other options would be to run one of the vpn-X-servers, possibly launched via gdm. Have fun, Christopher I opened these ports in my firewall: # XDMCP (X11 remote login) lan_udp 177 lan_tcp 177 lan_tcp 6000:6010 lan_tcp 16001 # I remember some problems with gdm and IPv4 / IPv6 support. As I remember IPv4 # is broken when gdm is compiled with IPv6 support. Maybe this issue has been # solved since I set up this server. Just google for it if you encounter # issues. # X font server - you may wand to run a font server for the remote terminals lan_tcp 7100 ###################################################################### # gdm.conf [daemon] # Don't know wheather this is needed for xdmcp setup: VTAllocation=false RemoteGreeter=/usr/lib/gdm/gdmgreeter # Needed for Xming clipboard manager, in case you want to start a session from # MS Windows clients: KillInitClients=false [security] [xdmcp] # Enable remote sessions: Enable=true MaxPendingIndirect=0 MaxSessions=4 [gui] GtkRC= [greeter] Include=*** some ',' separated usernames *** IncludeAll=false Browser=true [chooser] [debug] [servers] # Multi seat setup.
