XDMCP Connections

[Daniel Fourie]

How can I stop users from making XDMCP connections to the server.

if you are using CDE cp /usr/dt/config/Xaccess to /etc/dt/config/Xaccess and edit the file here.

It's mainly a text file/comments and gives you the required syntax

[Daniel Fourie]

Can you please help me in configuring this file, cause I have added the info but it is not working.

I want to deny access to all

[Alex Glennie]

Did you restart the CDE/Xserver processes => dtlogin -reset may work by itself but I'd advise droppingthe system to init 2 then back to run-level 3 for the changes to take effect !

[Alex Glennie]

e.g If you DO NOT want PC with ip address 15.43.66.10 to access ServerA .
for eg .....
1. cp /usr/dt/config/Xaccess /etc/dt/config

2. vi /etc/dt/config/Xaccess -->

At the last line , put in this :

!15.43.66.10 where this is ip address of host you do not wish to grant access, it should take wildcards so my guess is !* may work but I have not tried it ...

3. Reboot the Server to let Xaccess take effect

hmm.. i would restart dtlogin with.
/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc stop
/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start
