Re: Remote KDE desktop?

[Stephen Frazier <stevef@doc.state.ok.us>]

Thank you, it almost works.

When I do the "Remote Login" it has my server listed under Hostname.
Under Status is says "Display not authorized to connect"
When I try to select it, I go back to the logon screen.
Is there something else I need to change?
