RE: [SLUG] xdm server question

[Gray Dennis <dgray@xxxxxxxxxx>]

	Thanks,

	Is it a known fact the gdm won't broadcast like xdm? I would prefer
to continue to use gdm but will change to xdm, as suggested, but only if
necessary.

	Well I don't run prefdm as I just run xdm and the console goes GUI
too so
	I'm fine with that.. I just placed xdm in the rc.local file instead
of
	inittab as once it stuffed up on me and kept trying to respawn
	itself...errrr...

	As well as doing this, I could not get gdm to work....

	solution: change to xdm

	either edit /etc/X11/prefdm so that xdm is exec'ed at the bottom, or
make
	prefdm a soft link to the xdm executable.

	If your refering to the broadcast list and it's not visible then try
	modifying the file (under RedHat) in /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess

	and remove the # from the "*  hosts allowable to connect"

	I have just recently installed RH 6.2 on a machine in my office.
Apparently
	this
	distribution starts up gdm instead of xdm. From a Windows
workstation, I
	start
	up Reflection X and cannot see this particular machine in the list
of Unix
	machines running xdm. Where can I go to learn how to configure this
	correctly?
	Is gdm supposed to behave the same way as xdm?
