XDMCP with nomachine

[mashtin]

I’ve got nomachine installed on a few windows and linux hosts and love it.

I used to use Hummingbird eXceed with XDMCP and it provided one function
that I don’t see in nomachine (or at least can’t figure out).

With Hummingbird, Users on a windows host fire up the Xserver then
run XDMCP which will list out a bunch of available linux hosts, the
number of users currently logged into each and the load on each.

This allows them an opportunity to make an intelligent decision as to
which host they can/should login to. This is done via the Xwilling
script on the linux hosts

Can nomachine do this? If so, how?

Thanks

XDM is supported but unfortunately at the moment that is a problem affecting the functionality,
described here https://www.nomachine.com/TR11K04020.
Server administrators can also add XDM login as a mandatory login method for specific groups of users.
In the meanwhile we are also investigating how the functionality can be improved, for example
to better integrate with the host environment.
Regarding Xwillings, as far as we know, this file is only used by XDM, while we would like to
offer a wider range of choices.
We believe that (once the bug will be fixed) the ability of the administrator to set the XDM login
command on the server will give people the best flexibility and adapt to most setups.
