F17 LXDE spin: replace *DM systemd script for XDMCP

[Mihamina Rakotomandimby]

Hi all,

I have installed several F17 desktop with LXDE spin.
It's OK.

Now I have a F18 "server" (on a 1U racked server), where I enabled XDMCP.

I want the F17 desktops to be the X clients of the server, in a simple 
way (users are not geeks). To achieve this,
- I want the LXDM not to start (well "chkconfig lxdm off")
- I want the F17 desktops to replace LXDM starting by the connection to 
the X server
-- Custom init file? (tutorial?)

How would you advice to do?

I dont want to use FreeNX nor XNest nor VNC, but full XDMCP.

Thank you in advance.

RMA.

Server:
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[XDMCPServer]
enabled=true

Check iptables/firewalld
xdmcp 177/udp

systemctl stop lxdm.service
systemctl disable lxdm.service
systemctl enable lightdm.service
systemctl start lightdm.service

Client(s):
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[SeatDefaults]
xdmcp-manager=server/ip/name

nmap -sU -p 177 server/ip/name

There are bugs & shortcomings.
I leave you the rest of the setup. ;)
