I want to have a DEC 3000/300X Alpha (running Digital UNIX 3.2 and X11)
be able to act like a remote X terminal and get other machines to start
X sessions on it.
I've read some X windows documentation, as well as similar questions
already asked of this group, and feel the way to do this is by somehow
getting XDM to start a chooser window in place of a login window, and
allowing the user to choose which machine to use; once chosen, the
specified machine will display the login/password box on the local
workstation.
I've had accounts on networks where they have all kinds of X hardware
(VAXen, Suns, you name it), and on each one, you pick what machine you
want to log into, and it gets that machine to start your X session for
you -- point is, I know it can be done, I'm just missing something very
obvious and very basic.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks,
