It's useful with X servers which run on other systems in '-indirect' mode or from ssh X11 forwarding. (!) You'd need to comment the local entry out of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers to keep xdm from running a local server and session. This way, you can keep memory requirements much lower most of the time while allowing the execution of X client applications from remote X servers. If this makes SSH/xauth work too then it's a pretty handy configuration for that as well Good Luck, Jerry Hicks wghicks@bellsouth.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
