Remote Access OS X to YDL X

[James Cass]

Ooooo!  This is really cool!.  What you're going to do is establish an 
X session with your YDL Mac.  On your YDL Mac, enable XDMCP through the 
"System Settings/Login Screen" settings (requires root password).  Go 
there, and click on the "XDMCP" tab (it's the last tab).  Just click 
"Enable XDMCP".  I leave "Honour indirect requests" checked.  Leave the 
defaults for the others.  Make a note of your IP address of your YDL 
Mac.  You can actually logout to the YDL login screen now.

Now, on your MacOSX Mac, go to the Terminal.  Issue this command:  
/usr/X11R6/bin/X -query 192.168.0.5      (capital "X", but use your IP 
address of your YDL Mac.  If all goes well, you'll see something like 
this:
---snip----
XFree86 Version 4.3.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
[DRI] screen 0 installation complete
Screen 0 added: 1280x854 @ (0,0)
---snip-----
Followed magically by a YDL graphical login prompt (if you have 
Graphical Login set for YDL) on you MacOSX Mac!  Sweet!  Login as one 
of your YDL users and you'll see the normal login process.  The YDL 
task bar and everything you need will show up.  You now have YDL and 
MacOSX right at your fingertips.  It takes a little getting use to.  If 
you want to share files back and forth, you can either smb over to the 
YDL Mac, or start the Appletalk service on the YDL Mac.  Either way you 
can pop a share from the YDL Mac on your MacOSX Desktop.

HTH....James
