So far so good. I don't know if gdm can handle outgoing-xdmcp or not. I haven't tried yet. I did the above on my Linux box, then when I went to the lab (Solaris 8 boxes with CDE and dtlogin) I could pick "remote host" from the dtlogin screen, type in my host (or IP) and it would show up with my gdm login. | AUDIT: Sat Jun 30 17:38:22 2001: 5127 X: client 1 rejected from IP 192.168.1.1 port 34472 | AUDIT: Sat Jun 30 17:38:22 2001: 5127 X: client 1 rejected from IP 192.168.1.1 port 34473 | AUDIT: Sat Jun 30 17:38:24 2001: 5127 X: client 1 rejected from IP 192.168.1.1 port 34474 | | On asterix, the file /var/log/gdm/obelix.watz.ch\:0.log contains the following: | | Xlib: connection to "obelix.watz.ch:0.0" refused by server | Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server | Xlib: connection to "obelix.watz.ch:0.0" refused by server | Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server | Xlib: connection to "obelix.watz.ch:0.0" refused by server | Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server I think here asterix is disallowing obelix from "snooping" on asterix's display.

This is possible too. -D
