Kurztipp: XNest

Xnest

If you want to log in onto a remote computer using KDM you usually open a console window or press F2 and execute

  >> X -query 192.168.10.3 :1
  
Now you should get the login window of the remote machine on your console 8 (reachable with F8).

That works, but I didn't like it.
I asked myself whether there isn't something like a terminal server.

And yes, there is!

It's as simple as that.
Install the tool Xnest, create a shellscript containing the following command and create a shortcut on your KDE desktop to it:

  >> /usr/X11R6/bin/Xnest -ac -kb -query 192.168.10.3 :3
  
And as easy as that you'll have a terminal server client every user can run with one mouseclick.
