X terminals that do not support XDMCP

If the X terminal does not support XDMCP, use this procedure to set up a scologin session:

  1. Log into the host machine as root. If scologin is currently running on the host machine, use the scologin administration script to stop it:

    /etc/scologin stop

  2. On the host machine, edit the /usr/lib/X11/scologin/Xservers file so that it contains an entry for the X terminal.

    For example, to configure a terminal named vortex so it runs scologin from a host machine named scooter, add the following line to the Xservers file on scooter:

    vortex:0 foreign

  3. Start scologin on the host machine by running /etc/scologin start.

  4. On the X terminal, restart the X server. When the server is running again, the scologin window appears on the X terminal screen.
