[gentoo-user] kdm crippled?

[Uwe Thiem]

Hi folks,

I am trying to connect solid state thin clients (*not* LTSP ones) to a gentoo 
server. There is one big problem: kdm on the gentoo box does not connect to 
the X server on the thin client. I 
tweaked /usr/kde/3.5/share/config/kdm/kdmrc any way I could think of - to no 
avail. I even took the kdmrc fiel from OpenLab (http://www.getopenlab.com - a 
distro that *does* connect to those TCs), adjusted the paths in it and used 
it on gentoo. No joy.

Now I have got a couple of questions. Is there anyone on this list who has 
succeeded in making gentoo-kdm connect to X-terminals? I kdm crippled on 
gentoo? Can it connect at all?

I am desparate for any knowledgeable hint. ;-)

Uwe

have you checked, that kdm/X is not started with the -nolisten tcp option?

Yes, I did. They are listening on tcp.

I must have been completely brain-dead over the last couple of days. 
Completely forgot that the thin client IP addresses had to be reverse 
resolveable for xdmcp. =8-O
