In other words, be an XMNCP server. What I'm looking for is how to set up gdm to allow me to choose another machine to log in to from this machine, or put another way, be an XDMCP client. The machine I have set up as an XDMCP server is a SuSE machine running kdm. On that machine, there is a menu button that allows to to select "Remote login" as an option which brings up a list of machines that are set up as XDMCP servers. What I'm looking for is the gdm equivalent of the menu->remote login option. I've added AllowAdd=true Broadcast=true to the [chooser] section of /etc/gdm/custom.conf but that didn't change anything Thanks, Steve -- Changing lives one card at a time http://www.send1cardnow.com
