Hello,
I din't find any solution in the FAQ so I'm asking here:
I'm searching a possibility to easy-connect to some UNIX-Servers using
XDisplayManager login (not ssh-tunneling).
It works in Xdarwin which was not connected to Apple but with xdarwin.org
with following command line:
/usr/X11R6/bin/XDarwinStarup -fullscreen -nostartx -query
unix.server.to.connect
In Xdarwin which comes with OS-X 10.3 there is neither an option -nostartx
nor -fullscreen wich prevents from starting a local windowmanager and to
switch to fullscreen-mode.
In the moment I use the following solution with the "new" Xdarwin:
I start by starting the X11.app, switching to fullscreen, quitting X11.app
and typing the command line
/usr/X11R6/bin/X -query unix.server.to.connect
This seems to be a little too complicated. Is there is simplier solution?
Is there a possibility to add a X11query.app which has a preference-pane for
selecting an XDM-Server and a fontserver to connect with (and a switch
between fullscreen and rootless). This application should not start a local
windowmanager.
Thanx for you help
Volker Schmidt
