In fact, IIRC you cannot send a full XDM overs ssh, just run individual apps. The problem is that XDM communicates using UDP for it's transport layer. If security is your concern, and you don't need truely dumb tubes, you culd run local X and pull all the apps from the RH box over ssh. The apps would be process on the RH box but the desktop would run from local resources. If you need a howto on setting up a diskless, X based system look at: http://nesbitt.yi.org/rhat/xterm.shtml -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
