THIS IS A SUMMARY FOR THE ABOVE MENTIONED "FAQ":
>We have a SUN SPARCStation 20 with Solaris 2.4 and I would like to know if
the XDMCP (X Display Manager Control Protocol) is supported. This protocol
allows remote clients to log-on the SUN as if they were at the main console.
If this is supported, how can we activate this feature.
>
It is supported; however, the exact configuration can be somewhat involved.
The program is /usr/openwin/bin/xdm and the configuration files are in the
/usr/openwin/lib/xdm directory. To get xdm run on startup, create a file in
/etc/rc2.d named S90xdm with these contents:
# xdm
pid=`/usr/bin/ps -e | /usr/bin/grep xdm | /usr/bin/sed -e 's/^ *//' -e 's/
.*//'`
xdm=/usr/openwin/bin/xdm
case $1 in
'start')
if [ "${pid}" = "" ]
then
if [ -x $xdm ]
then
$xdm -config /usr/openwin/lib/xdm/xdm-config
fi
fi
;;
'stop')
if [ "${pid}" != "" ]
then
/usr/bin/kill ${pid}
fi
;;
*)
echo "usage: /etc/rc2.d/S90xdm {start|stop}"
;;
esac
Also check the man page for "xdm." More information is provided in the
"X-Window System Administrator's Guide" by O' Reilly & Associates ( Mui and
Pearce).
