Sorry if my question is not correctly understood!!


here is the problem:

I have servers running debian

I want to connect to that servers old PCs
on which I want to get a remote login in order to login in a desired Server and working in servers instead of in local machines.

In fact this is the role of XDMCP protocole !!!
unfortunatly the login window on Pc's gives only the connexion
to the local machine.


Briefly, I want to use my old PC's a light thin client.

I hope this is clear enough

thanks for any help

still no question, I cannot see any problem. Just you need to configure it. Your description is not really enough to give you any help. What have you tried/configured? What's happened, do you have any error message? what os is running on your old PC, on your thin client?
http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO.html

OK I formulate it again :

This is the pb "Just you need to configure it", the XDMCP is activate on the servers, so any one can acceed from any remote machine running linux (for example debian), right?.

Now I am on another machine, which must be used as a client to login in the server provided that this client has an window login where you find the list of servers to choose one of them.

the problem again : how to display "the login window" on the machine with "the list" of xdmcp servers??


By the way : on the servers: Xephyr -query localhost :1 gives the window connection, which means that the XDMCP server runs crorrectly.

Now,
if you've never seen a remote thin client to the server xdmcp connection, it is difficult for you to understand me

thank's for help

Can you please check the link I gave you. Have you checked your firewall settings? Have you checked if the remote xdmcp port really accessible? Have you checked your log files (both on client and server side)?

Thanks any way,
the servers run correctly, from any thin client I can connect without problem, because on thin client it exists the login windows where you can choose the servers from the list,

I need just on PC a login giving the list of servers.

On old distro, like mint13 for example, there is in control panel, a button called "login window", with it you
can customise the window login and add a list for remote machines.

Unfortunatly, the button disapear in recent distros.

Solved

For those concerned:

The problem is solved by installing the gdm (gnome version 2) ( not in gnome 3),
which has the desired window thru the gdmsetup.

best regards
