RH 7.1 and Exceed

[derekl]

I would like to connect to a Linux machine that I have using Exceed running on a Windows machine. I am at the point that I can get a terminal window to come up using telnet to log on, but I have no window manager. Can someone tell me the command I need to issue to start the window manager? Also, what do I need to do to be greeted by the GDM logon screen in Exceed when I startup?

Is Exceed just a telnet client?

[derekl]

No, it's an X server for windows.

[dvdnut]

change the inittab file so it reads something like init:5 from whatever it used to be

also to start x it would be
um
startx maybe?

heheheh

In short, a remote session requires the cooperation of both computers. The X access of the computer you wish to access must be modified to include any client that you want to connect from, and you must start a new X-session on your local computer.

To allow a graphical connection to a remote linux box, the computer you wish to connect to must allow graphical connections from your system. This is done by editing the Xaccess file in /etc/X11/kdm/ to allow the client computer(s) -- None is usually the default but uncommenting the line

#*#any host can get a login window

allows all clients to connect, which may be a security risk, so you may want to specify clients. For this faq, we will just uncomment this line (it is the first non-comment commented line). Once
this change is made, you will need to re-start the X-server. You can use the login manager, or just use a terminal to go to runlevel 3 then back to 5:
