I recently upgraded to 7.06 and found remote access via xdmcp did not seem to be working. I am
upgrading to 7.10 and I'm wondering if the xdmcp issues have been addressed.

I did'nt manage to connect via xdmcp but I got an embeded session with
xserver-xephyr.

You have to allow xdmcp in gdm

then :
Xephyr :1 -once -kb -query your-server-ip

or :
Xephyr :1 -once -kb -fullscreen -query your-server-ip

Hello list members!

I have followed the instructions on setting up xdmcp on a kubuntu 8.04
box so that
I can log in remotely and I receive the error that the connection is
not authorized.

The instructions make reference to the following line located in
/etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc:

KeyFile=/etc/kde3/kdm/kdmkeys

I uncommented this line and it still does not work, and there is no
file called kdmkeys located
in that subdirectory.

Do I have to manually create the keys, or are they installed from the package?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

What instructions did you follow exactly?
What is the output of # ps -ef | grep X

I found another set of instructions at this address:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=259448

And they have worked, it is now functional. I commented out the reference
to the keys file and all started to work.

Thanks
