It usually is a bit confusing since the Xserver/Xclient terminology is almost backwards from how server/client is usually used. An Xserver is the part that has a display and a keyboard. An Xclient is a program that connects to the Xserver to display pictures. > What happens is, when I logon to a solaris machine I get a login screen > on which I also can logon to remote machines graphicaly.

It is quite clear what you want (except possibly to those people who have never seen such a setup before and don't even know it is possible). I have never set up such a system myself, but I think all the information you need can be found in the xdm(1) manpage. (The config files for xdm can be found under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/) -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
