I seem to recall some magic in some /etc/ config files, but nothing too spectacular was required. My K | Switch User breaks, but if I do K | Lock Screen, I can then login as another user, which starts the second session just fine. Does this approach work for you? J.
Yes, using the KDE 3.5 K menu's "switch user" worked, at least on my old machine (PII-266 running unstable). The new machine has a dual core amd64 cpu.
Is there any way to set up a second kdm login on vt8 without having to run "switch user" first?
I can post existing configuration files for both machines if someone can let me know which are important for doing this. I would like to restrict the remote logins to the other machine only (assigned 192.168.1.100 to the old and 192.168.1.101 to the new) and *not* use encryption as this would slow the PII-266 machine too much.
Thanks for your suggestion and any further help. Arthur.
