X terminals that support XDMCP

If the X terminal does support XDMCP, use the following procedure. Note that you do not need to configure the Xservers file in this situation.

1. Configure the X terminal to use XDMCP. While there are three ways you can do this, the most common method is mentioned first:

   • Set the display manager access parameter to ``Direct'' and specify the IP address of the machine on which scologin will be running. This method transmits a Query packet directly to the specified host machine.
     

   • Set the terminal's display manager access parameter to ``Broadcast.'' This method broadcasts a query packet, to which one or more hosts may respond. Depending on how your X terminal functions, the display can request management from the host that responds first or it can provide a list of available hosts and allow you to pick one.

   • Set the display manager access parameter to ``Indirect.'' This method transmits a query packet to an intermediate host, which relays it to another host.

2. Verify that scologin is running on the host machine with the /etc/scologin query command. Enter /etc/scologin start to start the display manager if it is not already running.

3. Restart the server session on the X terminal. The scologin window displays on the X terminal's screen.
