Re: question on x windows

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.
