That last line that says "What does this do?" The answer is "! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm" (right above it). Comment it out and run your favorite xdm/wdm/kdm/etc from /etc/ttys and you should be golden. I've got the same setup here. -Otter }-----Original Message----- }From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Daniel Bye }Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2000 12:22 PM }To: 'questions@freebsd.org' }Subject: XDMCP - broadcast to network. } } }Hello everybody, } }I am trying to configure XDMCP on my FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE }machine.
