Hi,
I have knoppix installed on harddrive of a desk top system and connecting
via WindowsXP notebook.
With PuTTY on Windows XP, I have successfully login with ssh. Also with Cygwin/X running,
I can start X-applications from within PuTTY w/ X11Forwarding enabled. But I want
to use a WindowManager on the Linux machine.
I have tried to setup Cygwin/X to use XDMCP. All I got was a local Xwindow with
nothing in it. I assume I didn't get a XDMCP respond back. I also am thinking, if
I start the XDMCP from Cygwin/X, I am not going thru PuTTY, that means it will
not be over ssh.
I have edited /etc/kde3/kdm/Xaccess and uncommented before * as follows
....
#
* #any host can get a login window
...
I have edited /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc as follows.
[Xdmcp]
# Whether KDM should listen to XDMCP requests. Default is true.
Enable=true
# The UDP port KDM should listen on for XDMCP requests. Don't change the 177.
Port=177
I have restarted kdm after this editing.
I gave the following command from the Cygwin terminal window
$ run XWin -query 192.168.0.2(knoppix ip addess) :1 -nodecoration -lesspointer.
After aborting the empty window I looked at /tmp/XWin.log
....
