[plug] forwarding X11 - KDM

[Scott Middleton]

In Debian edit
/etc/kde2/kdm/Xaccess
Several configurations possible but if it is a safe environment
just put a * on its own down the bottom.
you might also want to edit the /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc so users can't
shutdown the system and the like.

Those files have pretty good explanations in them so that should get you
started. or you can look at www.ltsp.org

    Ummm. Don't know. KDM and KDE3 are working fine on the monitor plugged into 
    the server, and there is a blank X display on the terminals with a mouse 
    pointer, but no kdm login manager. There's a configuration setting somewhere 
    that allows this, I just can't remember where it is.
    
    I've tried doing more reading on this (there's no kdm manpage, and the README 
    was brief) and I may be confused about how this works. Are the remote 
    displays a function of xdm? Xdm isn't installed on this server. Perhaps 
    that's the problem?
