I can't tell you the internals of how the NX protocol works, but it does *not* require or use XDMCP or X directly, I have used regular NX on Linux hosts in runlevel 3 (no X11 running directly on the host), just with all the software installed. I wish I knew the internals of the NX protocols, then

custom.conf contains: [xdmcp] Enable=true and "svcs gdm" shows it online. BTW, I can vnc to this machine and get the gdm chooser but I'd prefer NX. Do you get the complaint about /tmp? Gary On 12/20/2012 08:19 AM, Jonathan Adams wrote: > hmm ... this works for me ... > > have you "run gdmsetu

Jon, Thanks, that got me past the problem. BTW, I tried your package which gave me the same results as mine. In addition, when I log in to user nx your installation complains about embedded newlines in strings. I can almost taste this now. gary@abby:~> ssh -X phoenix /usr/NX/bin/nxnode --agent
