my situation is like this,
i have one linux server and 7 winodws clients, every client want to logon to linux server from his machine and also want to get the XWindows with it on windows client.
The first part of it is easy, i could have done it by using ssh clients. but since they want xwindows also, this is not my solution
i cant use the VNC because i want every users should have to enter there own linux usernames and password in order to access the linux server
The only way I've heard how to do this is to install X on all seven machines, which means installing Linux on all of them. Afterwards, you utilize your existing Linux machine as an X server (which going to need TONS of horsepower) and access it using X clients on your seven desktops.
Or you could use VMWare, or something like that...
I hope this gets you pointed in the right direction.
it is an xserver written for windows... basically. How it works is a user on a windows machine starts winaxe, enters their userid / passwd, then winaxe connects to the linux server and starts an xsession for the user. basically a graphical telnet.
also winaxe is much cheaper than other x-for-windows products like hummingbird.
