Remote X login on Suse Linux

Regarding to the former post, you will not really be able to do this with a Suse Linux System. As SuSE has a little confusing XDM/GDM/KDM configuration strategy (eg, an actual KDM configuration is spread over KDM config AND over XDM config), it is recommended not to change this by hand. Instead, use SuSEs sysconfig to do this. Sysconfig is included in YaST2:

Yast Control Center
-> Sysconfig-Editor
--> Desktop
---> Display-Manager
----> DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS=yes
----> if needed: DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE=yes

This should enable full remote X access to a SuSE box.
