Comment:
remove section as KDM is gone and noone should use XDMCP anyway these days.

  
  Note: Since such ten-year-old thin clients may also have trouble running newer versions of !LibreOffice and Firefox due to pixmap caching issues, you may consider running thin clients with at least 128 MB RAM, or upgrade the hardware, which will also give you the benefit of being able to use them as diskless workstations.
  
- == Replacing LDM with KDM ==
- Since version 3.0 Skolelinux has been running LDM as its login manager, which uses a secure SSH tunnel to log in. Switching to KDM also requires a switch to XDMCP, which uses lower CPU resources on the clients and on the server.
- 
- /!\ '''Warning''': XDMCP does not use encryption. Passwords will travel in cleartext over the network, as well as anything else.
- 
- /!\ Note: local devices with {{{ltspfs}}} will stop working without LDM.
- 
- To check if XDMCP is running, run this command from a workstation:
- 
- {{{
-  X -query ltspserverXX
- }}}
- If you are on the thin client network, run this command:
- 
- {{{
-  X -query 192.168.0.254
- }}}
- The goal is to let your "real" thin client contact the xdmcp-server on 192.168.0.254 (given a standard Skolelinux configuration).
- 
- If XDMCP is not accessible on your server which runs KDM, add the following to `/etc/kde4/kdm/Xaccess`:
- 
- {{{
-  * # any host can get a login window
- }}}
- The star before the comment '#' is important; the rest is a comment, of course :)
- 
- Then turn on XDMCP in KDM with the command:
- 
- {{{
-  sudo update-ini-file /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc Xdmcp Enable true
- }}}
- Finally, restart KDM by running:
- 
- {{{
-  sudo service kdm restart
- }}}
- 
  == Connecting Windows machines to the network / Windows integration ==
  === Joining a domain ===
  For Windows clients the Windows domain "SKOLELINUX" is available to be joined. A special service called Samba, installed on the main-server tjener, enables Windows clients to store profiles and user data, and also authenticates the users during the login.
