- I just added the following line to xdm-config:
- > DisplayManager*setup: /local/X11R5/lib/X11/xdm/setup
-
- And then put the following in the setup file (change skule to be your xdm host):
- > # disable access from skule.ecf
- > # still not clear how skule got in the access list in the first place!
- > xhost - skule.ecf > /dev/null 2>&1
-
- Make sure you don't just put the 'xhost -' in the Xsession file,
- or else the display will be 'open to trouble-makers' when nobody is logged in.
