How to setup a terminal server

Clientside

Unix: X :1 -query hostname
Xnest: Xnest :2 -query hostname
kdm: pending
Windows/cygwin: C:\Programme\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\XWin.exe -query hostname

Serverside

Make some changes to the configuration /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc:
[Xdmcp]
Enable=true
Willing=/etc/kde3/kdm/Xwilling
Xaccess=/etc/kde3/kdm/Xaccess
/etc/kde3/kdm//Xservers:
# Examples for multiple local X displays:
# :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt9 -bpp 16
# :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt10 -bpp 8
:0 local@tty1 /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -dpi 100 vt7
:1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp vt8
/etc/kde3/kdm/Xaccess:
# In all cases, xdm uses the first entry which matches the terminal;
# for IndirectQuery messages only entries with right hand sides can
# match, for Direct and Broadcast Query messages, only entries without
# right hand sides can match.
#

*                                       #any host can get a login window

#
# To hardwire a specific terminal to a specific host, you can
# leave the terminal sending indirect queries to this host, and
# use an entry of the form:
#

#terminal-a     host-a


#
# The nicest way to run the chooser is to just ask it to broadcast
# requests to the network - that way new hosts show up automatically.
# Sometimes, however, the chooser can't figure out how to broadcast,
# so this may not work in all environments.
#

*               CHOOSER BROADCAST       #any indirect host can get a chooser
Dont forget to restart the kdm!
