Damned if I remember. I got most of what I needed from the O'Reilly `X Window System Administrator's Guide', along with some Red Hat docs on gdm, which has a pretty straightforward configuration file. I played with it for a month or so, and then dumped it because its cleartext nature had no future on my LAN. X isn't one of my strengths, so I don't know if it's feasible to secure remote xdm logins. - -d - -- David Talkington PGP key: http://www.prairienet.org/~dtalk/0xCA4C11AD.pgp -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 iQA/AwUBPKPrWr9BpdPKTBGtEQIIUwCg+29XzLQDAapW+5/HAY2+abzcZRYAoOrs k/IQPduVLPqK0EatqW7EriQX =C0xW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
