I see that XDMCP is not secure. I was looking for a ssh base solution. Perhaps this will work: VNC. <br>The target system needs to be configured to accept remote control. This can be done via System|Preferences|Remote Desktop Preferences. The default is not to allow remote access. On Sharing section, allow others to view and/or control the desktop. On Security there are some options that apply. For example, confirmation could be set on, but that would not be appropriate if the target system was unattended. Or a password can be required to access the system remotely.<br>
When the Remote Desktop Preferences is set, the system can be accessed via Applications|Internet|Remote Desktop Viewer. <br><br>I was able to connect between my laptop and server, but there were issues seeing the refreshed screen. I am not sure if it was that one machine was run gnome and the other was running kde. There appears to be remote control. But the results of the remote requests are not seen by the remote machine. Perhaps this due to the router settings. Anyway, good luck with this.<br>

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">I’m wondering if anyone uses XDMCP successfully with
Ubuntu 9.04? I would like to be able to remotely log into my server via
my laptop at home through a gnome session. I had this functioning in the
past (back when I was on 8.04) but at some time I stopped being able to use
this access – or rather, when I try to remotely log in, the server isn’t
found.</span></p>

System->Administration->Login and enabled remote login. This was
all I needed to do before and all of the documentation I’ve found on
searches only discusses this screen. I have no problems accessing Samba
