Hi, again. Managed to get it working (sort of!).
I have a desktop machine that sits in another room because the flashing lights and the noisy fans would not be allowed into the living room. I have a laptop that I use all the time connected to the desktop. I run X on the desktop and view it's contents on the laptop with the following command; X -query desktop :1 I am not able to get to log in remotely using kdm. First of all, I had to install nas (the server package) on the laptop. Then I installed nas-bin (the client utils) on the desktop. I then had to change the /etc/default/nas file on the laptop to have the "-aa" option to allow unauthenticated connections. I was then able to run auinfo on the laptop's konsole and it said everything was fine. I was also able to execute the following on a remote konsole on the desktop (i.e. sat at the laptop in KDE on the desktop): auinfo -audio tcp/laptop:8000 and get the results I needed. When I then execute: audial -audio tcp/laptop:8000 -volume 50 0123 and get the tones come out of the laptop!!! Unfortunately, when I then tell KDE to use the NAS, I get segfaults - so it does not work. Next I'm going to look at ESD and then aRTS if that fails. Will let you know.
