Hello,
Are there any methods to list IP address in Xservers file configuration by using
wildcard or any form of address range ? Because IP can not be known in advance
for terminal and they can be set randomly by the dhcp.
I try to set an wildcard like 172.168.0.*:0 but it doesnt work.
Do you mean the /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file used by the xdm display manager?
If so, then no, because each entry is a display to be managed, so something
like 172.168.0.*:0 would start up 256 display managers, each trying to
contact one of those IP addreesses to run an X session on.
If you can't configure the DHCP server to give stable addresses to the X
terminals, then you'll need to configure the X terminals to use XDMCP to
let the xdm server know what IP address they're running on.
