What are your requirements for remote access?
Is there something missing from using VNC or xrdp?
To Alan:
I see what you mean about /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/00-upstream-settings. Its
a comment free zone! I'll dig a little deeper. I have made XDMCP work on
recent incarnations of Fedora up to 14
To Ed:
I've tried xrdp out.
Installing xrdp installed the package but it arrived disabled in systemd
- grrr: a tad user aggressive - if the aim is to make Fedora more user
accessible then installing a service should enable and start it. It
fails to show up in the "Service Configuration" applet until I used bash
to tell systemd that its enabled. I don't see how to use the Enable and
Disable function in "Service Configuration" because a service needs to
be enabled before it shows up. Gnome 3 runs in fall-back mode in xrdp -
a good reason to use X.
Vnc does not look too bad in this instance, although in an MS
environment I find that the image quality often lacking.
I have been used to using XDMCP with *nix systems for years it seems a
pity to remove the function that could/might be kept. I could ask the
question the other way, how does removing XDMCP functionality further
Fedora's cause?
This could get into a discussion about the target audience for
Fedora/Gnome and what Fedora is trying to achieve. A topic for another
thread me thinks. I know one of Fedoras' aims is a technology test bed.
The advice is not to use it for production and here is a good example of
why.
Thanks
Ken
