On FC3 you need to specify ssh -X (enable X) or ssh -Y (enable trusted X) to enable X11 forwarding. You'll need trusted X (-Y option) for features like the clipboard to work. I believe that -Y is a new option in the version of the SSH client with FC3. You may also need to enable X11Forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the headless machine and/or ForwardX11 in /etc/ssh_config on the clients. The -X and -Y options should override ssh_config. > I did not completely understand all your instructions.

Here is the KDM documentation for XDMCP: http://docs.kde.org/en/3.3/kdebase/kdm/kdm-files.html#kdmrc-xdmcp I'm guessing that you should be able to set enable=true in the [xdmcp] section and it will work. I'm not clear if you will need to setup the Xaccess file for such a simple use. > And does this require the headless machine to be at runlevel 3? You would have it at runlevel 5. I don't think you need a X server running on the machine but you do need a XDMCP enabled display manager to be running. -- David Norris http://www.webaugur.com/dave/ ICQ - 412039
