I personally haven't tried that distro yet, but assume the configuration would be same or pretty similar.

Good luck.

The configuration was invalidation in the RedHat5, In RedHat5 have not folder or file like /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess,/etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc or /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config.

I was tryed configure /usr/share/kdm/kdmrc,/usr/share/kdm/Xaccess, but it still invalidation.

Pls help! thanks!

Thank you for using Xmanager.

Your problem has been reported to our lab and will be tested soon. Meanwhile, please try the followings to solve your problem:

1. Check if necessary packages for running X Window System are installed on your server. If X environment such as Gnome or KDE cannot be started up from its console, you need to install XFree86 RPM packages first.

2. Follow the step-by-step guide (Step.3) available at our download site below. Especially, make sure to configure your network environment including firewalls between your server and PC as described in the guide.

3. Try using GDM. We have confirmed that the locations for GDM configuration files are similar to previous RHEL versions from its manual available at the official Red Hat site below:

Hope this helps.

Hi All,

Running gdmsetup in RHEL 5 and setting remote "same as local" is working for LAN.

Trough Firewall although i have opened the UDP 177 and TCP 6000-6010 to both ways it is not working.

I need to give Xmanager acess to my DMZ zone servers to lan.

Please, can any one help on this. any one tested on this.

RHEL 4 is working fine with above firewall config.

Thanks & Regards
Kosala

There are few more things you need to do to enable XDMCP. Read the following page:

For firewall, UDP 177 port should be open on the remote host and TCP 6000 ~ 6010 should be open on PC.
