If I understand you well; you want to allow other machines to open diplay on your machine? Some display manager lauch X without allowing this. For kdm you have to edit /etc/kde2/kdm/Xservers and removing the "nolisten tcp" option (and restart the server) after that you have to allow other machine to connect: login (graphically) and type xhost +<name of the machine you authorize to connect> or xhost - to allow all machines to connect Regards, Olivier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
