Hi all, I want to set up my X configuration as follows: 1) I want all clients (people) to log in to machine 'Server'using the GUI login.This brings them to their desktop. Typically these people are on windows machines running X servers such as eXceed or X-Win32. Some might be tunneling through ssh (port forwarding)so they would need to connect to local displays? 2) There is no physical keyboard or mouse attached to 'Server' 3) for administration purposes the command line is adequate, so there is no need for a GUI console. Essentially I want the PCs to function like dumb terminals running X displays. This is a fairly common scenario right ? How do I set up xdm for this? I searched the web but clear info was very sparse for FreeBSD (I am on 4.6.2). All pointers/help appreciated. Thanks, Shv.
