can someone try this on their os x

you will need to have a linux box with xdm/kdm running

with xdmcp enable



on os x do as follows



1.start x11

2.in the term window type

xnest :1 -query foo

where foo is the name or the ip of the linux box

or you can also try



xnest :1 -query foo -ac



-ac will temporarily disable access control



you should see the remote desktop pop up in the xnest

window.



i can get this working on linux/solaris/win32

refuses to work on os x & im trying to track down the cause

ive also posted this issue on apples website

aka i cant get my powerbook to see the linux/solaris boxes

via xnest



thanks
