Using XDMCP with Xphoton

Hi
There seems to be 3 common ways of starting an x-app with Xphoton:
-rsh
-rexec
-XDMCP

The last one allows one to run “thinner” between 2 existing
X windows systems.
Is it possible for QNX RtP to support XDMCP?
The command line that I saw being used was
X -query ip.add.re.ss

Apparently commercial X thin clients offer all 3 ways…
Thanks

It should work, what error messages do you get.

The command line that I saw being used was
X -query ip.add.re.ss

I don’t know enough about xdm to config it properly :frowning:
but I was able to get far enough to let
Xphoton -broadcast work

What are you trying to accomplish?
