I've installed X (it works), but I can't seem to figure out how to configure it so that it issues an XDMCP request to our central host (a SCO box) so that the latter will present a login widget on the FreeBSD box. The documentation on xdm(1) only seems to deal with managing local and remote X servers. What I really want is some way to start up X on the FreeBSD box and somehow get the central host to manage its display. What are the tools/man-pages/documentation that I have to use to get this working? Any help appreciated. Cheers. -- Jonathan Chen | de-moc-ra-cy (di mok' ra see) n.
