XDMCP setup (only one time)
I tried to connect to a Solaris computer through XDMCP (through Xnest from an RHEL 4u4 computer), but it doesn't quite work. I can login once and everything works perfectly. If I log off and try a 2nd time, I can see the login screen, and can enter the username and password, and then if they are correct, it automatically logs off. The only way to get it to work again that I can find is to reboot.

To get to this point, I reformated the computer with Solaris 6/6. After reformatting I updated /etc/ssh/sshd_config to change a line to
PermitRootLogin yes
and updated /etc/default/login file to comment out the CONSOLE=/dev/console line.

After that I edited /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf to enable xdmcp and set all the security settings to permit root logins and remote logins.

By the way, everything works when you log into a Linux node every time.

brlapi_connectionsettings_t

brlapi_connectionSettings_t(3)					      BrlAPI					    brlapi_connectionSettings_t(3)

NAME

       brlapi_connectionSettings_t -

       Settings structure for BrlAPI connection.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <brlapi.h>

   Data Fields
       char * auth
       char * host

Detailed Description
       This structure holds every parameter needed to connect to BrlAPI: which file the authorization key can be found in and which computer to
       connect to.

       Examples:

	   brlapi_connectionSettings_t settings;

	   settings.auth='/etc/brlapi.key';
	   settings.host='foo';

       libbrlapi will read authorization key from file /etc/brlapi.key and connect to the machine called 'foo', on the default TCP port.

       settings.host='10.1.0.2';

       lets directly enter an IP address instead of a machine name.

       settings.host=':1';

       lets libbrlapi connect to the local computer, on port BRLAPI_SOCKETPORTNUM+1

       See Also:
	   brlapi_openConnection()

Field Documentation
   char* brlapi_connectionSettings_t::auth
       For security reasons, libbrlapi has to get authorized to connect to the BrlAPI server. This can be done via a secret key, for instance.
       This is the path to the file which holds it; it will hence have to be readable by the application.

       Setting NULL defaults it to local installation setup or to the content of the BRLAPI_AUTH environment variable, if it exists.

   char* brlapi_connectionSettings_t::host
       This tells where the BrlAPI server resides: it might be listening on another computer, on any TCP port. It should look like 'foo:1', which
       means TCP port number BRLAPI_SOCKETPORTNUM+1 on computer called 'foo'.

       Note:
	   Please check that resolving this name works before complaining

       Settings NULL defaults it to localhost, using the local installation's default TCP port, or to the content of the BRLAPI_HOST environment
       variable, if it exists.
