- # Access control file for XDMCP connections
- #
- # To control Direct and Broadcast access:
- #
- # pattern
- #
- # To control Indirect queries:
- #
- # pattern list of hostnames and/or macros ...
- #
- # To use the chooser:
- #
- # pattern CHOOSER BROADCAST
- #
- # or
- #
- # pattern CHOOSER list of hostnames and/or macros ...
- #
- # To define macros:
- #
- # %name list of hosts ...
- #
- # The first form tells xdm which displays to respond to itself.
- # The second form tells xdm to forward indirect queries from hosts matching
- # the specified pattern to the indicated list of hosts.
- # The third form tells xdm to handle indirect queries using the chooser;
- # the chooser is directed to send its own queries out via the broadcast
- # address and display the results on the terminal.
- # The fourth form is similar to the third, except instead of using the
- # broadcast address, it sends DirectQuerys to each of the hosts in the list
- #
- # In all cases, xdm uses the first entry which matches the terminal;
- # for IndirectQuery messages only entries with right hand sides can
- # match, for Direct and Broadcast Query messages, only entries without
- # right hand sides can match.
- #
-
- * #any host can get a login window
-
- #
- # To hardwire a specific terminal to a specific host, you can
- # leave the terminal sending indirect queries to this host, and
- # use an entry of the form:
- #
-
- #terminal-a host-a
-
-
- #
- # The nicest way to run the chooser is to just ask it to broadcast
- # requests to the network - that way new hosts show up automatically.
- # Sometimes, however, the chooser can't figure out how to broadcast,
- # so this may not work in all environments.
- #
-
- * CHOOSER BROADCAST #any indirect host can get a chooser
-
- #
- # If you'd prefer to configure the set of hosts each terminal sees,
- # then just uncomment these lines (and comment the CHOOSER line above)
- # and edit the %hostlist line as appropriate
- #
-
- #%hostlist host-a host-b
-
- #* CHOOSER %hostlist #
