XFree86 3.2, XDM and Chooser
I'm trying to get the Chooser to work with XDM, so I can select what
machine I want to use. (In other words, I want to use my own machine as an
X-Terminal.)
I've managed to get the chooser to select a couple of machines (including
my own), but whenever I try to select one of them I end up with the
xdm-login-promt for my own machine.
Relevant configuration information:
/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess (Added one line)
blight.somewhere.net CHOOSER blight final retry maleficium anguish
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers (192.168.200.20 is my own machine, eg. blight)
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -bpp 16 -indirect 192.168.200.20
When I log in it seems to use rsh to start something on the machine I'm on
(using remote, perhaps?).
I tried starting xdm with "-debug 9" and the output MIGHT indicate that
something is going wrong:
---
select returns 1. Rescan: 0 ChildReady: 1
Process chooser socket
Accepted 6
Read returns 14
Read from chooser succesfully
Got indirect choice back
signals blocked, mask was 0x0 <---
Manager wait returns pid: 16024 sig 0 core 0 code 0
Display exited with OBEYSESS_DISPLAY <---
---
Also, I'm using xdm-shadow, not xdm.
