This is FAST-HOW-TO to configure XDMCP on RedHat 7 / Linux 2.4.x from a Maiden Installation to have in Linux the same funtionality that comes with Solaris by default, the Graphical Enviroment GNOME (and KDE) Remotely from PC using for example, Exceed. 1) In /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs daemon xfs -droppriv -daemon -port -1 to: daemon xfs -droppriv -daemon -port 7100 2) In /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess, change #* # any host can get a login window to: * # any host can get a login window 3) In /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf change [xdmcp] Enable=0 to Enable=1 Browser=1 *not abolute necessary Port=177 4) In /etc/inittab change id:3:initdefault: to id:5:initdefault: and add x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/gdm 5) In /etc/X11 and change the line: FontPath "unix:-1" to FontPath "unix:7100" Reboot and that's all folks. Note: This is a only a fast and quick guide, not a manual. If you need more info. you know where to find it. More options are in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file.

Errors detected in: 3) the Browser=1 line is under [greeter] group and not under [xdmcp] 5) the line to edit is in the XF86Config file under /etc/X11 directory. In RedHat7.2 the line appears as: "unix/:7100" That's all. If you note an error just send me an e-mail.
