Hello everybody, I am trying to configure XDMCP on my FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE machine. It is running XFree86 3.3.6. I want to offer X services to other machines on the network, which will be using Hummingbird's Exceed software under WinNT. My host does not appear in the chooser menu.... I have had this working once before with a Redhat system, but would like to get FreeBSD to do it, too. I have changed Xaccess to allow connections from any source (the * on a line by itself) I have a feeling that I need to define a server in Xserver, but cannot remember (or find) the format for the appropriate line... This is the current contents of the Xservers file: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X And here is my xdm-config: ! $XFree86: xc/programs/xdm/config/xdm-conf.cpp,v 1.1.1.2.4.2 1999/10/12 18:33 :29 hohndel Exp $ ! ! $XConsortium: xdm-conf.cpp /main/3 1996/01/15 15:17:26 gildea $ DisplayManager.errorLogFile: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-errors DisplayManager.pidFile: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-pid DisplayManager.keyFile: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-keys DisplayManager.servers: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers DisplayManager.accessFile: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xaccess ! All displays should use authorization, but we cannot be sure ! X terminals will be configured that way, so by default ! use authorization only for local displays :0, :1, etc. DisplayManager._0.authorize: true DisplayManager._1.authorize: true ! The following three resources set up display :0 as the console. DisplayManager._0.setup: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 DisplayManager._0.startup: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/GiveConsole DisplayManager._0.reset: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/TakeConsole ! DisplayManager*resources: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xresources DisplayManager*session: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession DisplayManager*authComplain: false ! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests ! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm DisplayManager.requestPort: 1 ### <<<<<===== what does this do?? What else do I need to do, so that my machine will be visible in the chooser menus on other systems? Any hints or pointers, most gratefully received! Thanks for listening, all.
