Hello

I need tsclient running on my DSL. I am using tsclient so that I can log on to other computer using XDMCP. Is it any hint, to install tsclient on DSL? Here's the tsclient homepage[1]

Sure, you can compile it. DSL has an rdesktop client already, and it's small and doesn't require GTK2 or GNOME. Have you tried it?

I have tried it. But rdesktop is for Windows. I need tsclient with XDMCP support so that I can log in to Linux Server.

Even the TinyX included should have XDMCP capability, and the full X extensions have it for sure.
Why would you need an rdesktop/vnc frontend for it?

Sorry I am newbie on DSL. What do you mean by The Tiny X and X extensions? Is it name of application on DSL?

or by doing ssh -X username@192.168.0.1
or ssh username@192.168.0.1 then type (for example) konqueror

That's not xdmcp, that's X forwarding; in it you don't log to the other comp's X, just log to text mode, start a X app and make it show on local X screen.

You can do that with telnet too.. But I think DSL has ssh

I've done that but I want something more than X forwarding.

I need the XDMCP login on DSL. What application I need to do the XDMCP login. Any other hint?

What exactly do you want? I'm trying to understand why you would use XDMCP to log on to another computer when there are much better, safer, more secure options. Some of those options are included with DSL (ssh).

I want get connected to unix server from more than one DSL computer as a client. Every user from DSL client has account on the server. So that every user can run application from the server with their own account.

Hope it's clear.

Again, to use xdmcp, the clients need only X.

It's too bad you couldn't get it to work with Xvesa, so try the full X extensions (Xfree 4.3 and Xorg 7.2)
