(I'm sending this to the xpert mailing list because we receive USENET
at our site, but posting is broken at present.)

I am in the process of configuring some systems as X terminals here
(PC-class machines and Sun-3 workstations running Seth Robertson's
Xkernel setup).  I'd like some help with this, as I'm just an
astronomer trying to get some work done, not a systems guru.

Basically, I'd like xdm (or chooser) on our file/compute server to put
up its window essentially automatically when the X servers are
started.  I see that on the Sun-3 "X terminals" I can do this with the
"-indirect" or "-query" switch on the server, but I assume I need an
entry in /etc/services to enable XDMCP.  What might this be?  How do
I specify the path to the xdm and chooser binaries?

The PC-class machines are harder.  The X server I use most, the
GfxBase one for the Amiga, doesn't have the -interactive switch.  Is
there some safe way to essentially do an "anonymous rsh" to start xdm
(or chooser) on the file server pointed at the X server on the Amiga
(and other PC-class machines to arrive soon)?

Thanks in advance for the help!
