Multiple desktop clients per kdm server

[Brian Densmore]

Cool! I'll try that tonight. I wasn't sure if I needed to do
something like that or whether to add 0:,1: or 0: 1: to another
line (forget which one). Yes it is possible to do the autologin
from kdm and it's not something I'm interested in trying.
Although my wife would be very thankful for that and if she ever
finds out, may ask me why I can't do that. She's constantly
complaining about how there's just too many steps to do to do
anything. One of these days I'll write her a bunch of scripts
and add a gui frontend and place all her regular functions on
the desktop for her, only a click away. Sheesh!


Thanks,

Brian
