I have this working. Turned out to be bad gdm custom.conf file.
Everything seems to be working fine now. Is there a way to require a
user be in a certain group in order to connect to gdm or xwindows? In
sshd_conf, there is a AllowGroups option. Is there any simular way to
restirct access for gdm? Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I'm very close to having this working properly. Here's what's
installed. GDM and kde, gnome is not installed. Here is what I'm
seeing. GDM is listening and accepting connections properly.
1. After logging into a session via x windows, if a user right clicks
the desktop and selects loggoff, kde attempts to start another
re-spawn a new display on DISPLAY 0, which of course would only work
if the user was actually logged in at the console. If the user just
ends the x session (closes the client window on their computer,
everything works and closes fine). Is there away to remove the
loggoff option from kde?
2. When a user connects to gdm (they haven't logged in yet, they are
sitting at the login prompt) and clicks the session button and chooses
a session that is not their default session, the desktop and kde load
fine. If the user does not click the session button, then kde never
loads and all they get is a black screen, no errors or anything.
Please advise as to how I can work around these 2 bugs. If there
isn't an easy workaround, I would like to possibly try kdm. Is there
a way to stop gdm and start kdm without restarting the box? Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I have a user who would like to connect to x windows on one of our
linux servers. I'm not use to offering up x windows to any end users
(I'm a command line guy) so I'm struggling with this a bit. I've
installed x font server, daemon is running, and I installed xfce.
Server is running at run level 5 right now. I'm not sure what ports
I need to open on the firewall to allow them to connect to the server
or what other config files that might be preventing them from
displaying an x session on their desktop (they have a windows x
server running on their machines). I know that x windows sessions
are insecure, so I would also be in favor of forwarding the session
over ssh, but I would like to know how to connect with and without
ssh to the xfs server. Thanks for your help.
