Re: [SLL] Stupid X-server question...
|
To enable xdm at boot, (on redhat, but I'm sure it's similar under other
distributions) you can edit /etc/inittab, and set the default runlevel
to 5, which starts xdm when the machine comes up. As far as getting it
to log you in to another machine, from the xdm on the local machine, I don't
know how to do that...
