+<title>Configuring &tdm;</title>
+
+<para>This chapter assumes that &tdm; is already up and running on your
+system, and that you simply want to change its behavior in some way.</para>
+
+<para>When &tdm; starts up, it reads its configuration from the folder
+<filename class="directory">$TDEDIR/share/config/tdm/</filename> (this may
+be <filename class="directory">/etc/trinity/tdm/</filename> or something else
+on your system).</para>
+
+<para>The main configuration file is &tdmrc;; all other files are
+referenced from there and could be stored under any name anywhere on
+the system - but usually that would not make much sense for obvious
+reasons (one particular exception is referencing configuration files
+of an already installed &xdm; - however when a new &tdm; is installed,
+it will import settings from those files if it finds an already installed
+&xdm;).</para>
+
+<para>Since &tdm; must run before any user is logged in, it is not
+associated with any particular user. Therefore, it is not possible to have
+user-specific configuration files; all users share the common &tdmrc;.  It
+follows from this that the configuration of &tdm; can only be altered by
+those users that have write access to
+<filename>$<envar>TDEDIR</envar>/share/config/tdm/tdmrc</filename> (normally
+restricted to system administrators logged in as <systemitem
+class="username">root</systemitem>).</para>
+
+<para>You can view the &tdmrc; file currently in use on your system, and you
+can configure &tdm; by editing this file. Alternatively, you can use the
+graphical configuration tool provided by the &kcontrolcenter; (under
+<menuchoice><guisubmenu>System Administration</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Login
+Manager</guimenuitem></menuchoice>), which is described in <ulink
+url="help:/kcontrol/login-manager.html">the &kcontrolcenter; help files</ulink>.
+</para>
+
+<para>The remainder of this chapter describes configuration of &tdm;
+via the &kcontrolcenter; module, and the <link linkend="tdm-files">next
+chapter</link> describes the options available in &tdmrc; itself. If
+you only need to configure for local users, the &kcontrolcenter; module
+should be sufficient for your needs.  If you need to configure remote
+logins, or have multiple &tdm; sessions running, you will need to read
+on.</para>

+<title>The Login Manager &kcontrolcenter; Module</title>
+
+<para>Using this module, you can configure the &kde; graphical login

+access using the login manager and who can shutdown the
+computer.</para>
+
+<note><para>All settings will be written to the configuration file
+&tdmrc;, which in its original state has many comments to help you
+configure &tdm;.  Using this &kcontrolcenter; module will strip these
+comments from the file.  All available options in &tdmrc; are covered
+in <xref linkend="tdm-files"/>.</para>
+
+<para>The options listed in this chapter are cross referenced with
+their equivalents in &tdmrc;. All options available in the &kcontrol;
+module are also available directly in &tdmrc; but the reverse is not
+true.</para></note>
+
+<para>In order to organize all of these options, this module is
+divided into several sections: <link

+
+<para>You can switch between the sections using the tabs at the top of
+the window.</para>
+
+<note><para>If you are not currently logged in as a superuser, you
+will need to click the <guibutton>Administrator Mode...</guibutton>
+Button. You will then be asked for a superuser password.  Entering a
+correct password will allow you to modify the settings of this
+module.</para></note>

+<sect2 id="tdmconfig-appearance">
+<title>Appearance</title>
+
+<para>From this page you can change the visual appearance of &tdm;,

+
+<para>The <guilabel>Greeting:</guilabel> is the title of the login

+will be displayed.</para>
+
+<para>Normally the login box is centered on the screen.  Use the
+<guilabel>Position:</guilabel> options if you want it to appear
+elsewhere on the screen.  You can specify the relative position
+(percentage of the screen size) for the center of the login window,
+relative to the top left of the display, in the fields labeled
+<guilabel>X:</guilabel> and <guilabel>Y:</guilabel> respectively.
+These correspond to the key
+<link linkend="option-greeterpos"><option>GreeterPos</option></link>
+in &tdmrc;.</para>
+
+<para>While &kde;'s style depends on the settings of the user logged
+in, the style used by &tdm; can be configured using the <guilabel>GUI
+Style:</guilabel> and <guilabel>Color Scheme:</guilabel> options.
+These correspond to the keys <link
+linkend="option-guistyle"><option>GUIStyle</option></link> and <link
+linkend="option-colorscheme"><option>ColorScheme</option></link> in
+&tdmrc; respectively.</para>

+<title>Configuring your system to use &tdm;</title>
+
+<para>This chapter assumes that your system is already configured to
+run the &X-Window;, and that you only need to reconfigure it to
+allow graphical login.</para>
+
+<sect1 id="setting-up-tdm">
+<title>Setting up &tdm;</title>
+
+<para>The fundamental thing that controls whether your computer boots to a
+terminal prompt (console mode) or a graphical login prompt is the default
+runlevel.  The runlevel is set by the program <application> <ulink
+url="man:init">/sbin/init</ulink></application> under the control of the
+configuration file <filename>/etc/inittab</filename>. The default runlevels
+used by different &UNIX; systems (and different &Linux; distributions) vary,
+but if you look at <filename>/etc/inittab</filename> the start of it should
+be something like this:</para>
+
+<screen># Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
+# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
+# 1 - Single user mode
+# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS
+# 3 - Full multiuser mode
+# 4 - unused
+# 5 - X11
+# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
+
+id:3:initdefault:  
+</screen>
+
+<para>All but the last line of this extract are comments. The comments
+show that runlevel 5 is used for X11 and that runlevel 3 is used for
+multi-user mode without X11 (console mode). The final line specifies
+that the default runlevel of the system is 3 (console mode). If your
+system currently uses graphical login (for example, using &xdm;) its
+default runlevel will match the runlevel specified for X11.</para>
+
+<para>The runlevel with graphical login (&xdm;) for some common &Linux;
+distributions is:</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>5 for &RedHat; 3.x and later, and for &Mandrake;</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>4 for Slackware</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>3 for &SuSE;. 4.x and 5.x</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>The first step in configuring your system is to ensure that you
+can start &tdm; from the command line. Once this is working, you can
+change your system configuration so that &tdm; starts automatically
+each time you reboot your system.</para>
+
+<para>To test &tdm;, you must first bring your system to a runlevel
+that does not run &xdm;. To do so, issue a command like this:</para>
+
+<screen><command>/sbin/init <option>3</option></command></screen>
+
+<para>Instead of the number <option>3</option> you should specify the
+appropriate runlevel for console mode on your system.</para>
+
+<para>If your system uses Pluggable Authentication Modules
+(<abbrev>PAM</abbrev>), which is normal with recent &Linux; and &Solaris;
+systems, you should check that your <abbrev>PAM</abbrev> configuration permits
+login through the service named <literal>kde</literal>. If you previously used
+&xdm; successfully, you should not need to make any
+changes to your <abbrev>PAM</abbrev> configuration in order to use
+&tdm;. <filename>/etc/pam.conf</filename> or
+<filename>/etc/pam.d/kde</filename>. Information on configuring
+<abbrev>PAM</abbrev> is beyond the scope of this handbook, but
+<abbrev>PAM</abbrev> comes with comprehensive documentation (try looking in
+<filename>/usr/share/doc/*pam*/html/</filename>).</para>
+
+<para>Now it's time for you to test &tdm; by issuing the following
+command:</para>
+
+<screen><command>tdm <option>-nodaemon</option></command>
+</screen>
+
+<para>If you get a &tdm; login dialog and you are able to log in,
+things are going well.  The main thing that can go wrong here is that
+the run-time linker might not find the shared &Qt; or &kde; libraries.
+If you have a binary distribution of the &kde; libraries, make sure
+&tdm; is installed where the libraries believe &kde; is installed and
+try setting some environment variables to point to your &kde; and &Qt;
+libraries.</para>
+
+<para>For example:</para>
+
+<screen><command>export 
+<option>TDEDIR=<replaceable>/opt/kde</replaceable></option></command>
+<command>export 
+<option>QTDIR=<replaceable>/usr/lib/qt2</replaceable></option></command>
+<command>export

+<command>export 
+<option>LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<replaceable>$TDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib</replaceable></option></command>
+</screen>
+
+<para>If you are still unsuccessful, try starting &xdm; instead, to
+make sure that you are not suffering from a more serious X
+configuration problem.</para>
+
+<para>When you are able to start &tdm; successfully, you can start to
+replace &xdm; by &tdm;. Again, this is distribution-dependent.</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem>
+<para>For &RedHat;, edit <filename>/etc/inittab</filename>, look for this
+ line:</para>
+<screen>x:5:respawn:/usr/X11/bin/xdm -nodaemon</screen>
+<para>and replace with:</para>
+<screen>x:5:respawn:/opt/kde/bin/tdm</screen>
+<para>This tells <command>init</command>(8) to respawn &tdm; when the
+system is in run level  5. Note that &tdm; does not need the
+ <option>-nodaemon</option> option.</para>
+</listitem>
+<listitem>
+<para>For &Mandrake;, the X11 runlevel in
+<filename>/etc/inittab</filename> invokes the shell script
+<filename>/etc/X11/prefdm</filename>, which is set up to select from
+amongst several display managers, including &tdm;. Make sure that all
+the paths are correct for your installation.</para> 
+</listitem>
+<listitem>
+<para>For &SuSE;, edit <filename>/sbin/init.d/xdm</filename> to add a
+first line:</para>
+
+<screen>. /etc/rc.config
+DISPLAYMANAGER=tdm
+export DISPLAYMANAGER</screen>
+</listitem>
+<listitem><para>For FreeBSD, edit <filename>/etc/ttys</filename> and find
+the line like this:</para>
+<screen>ttyv8   "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon"  xterm   off secure</screen>
+<para>and edit it to this:</para>
+<screen>ttyv8   "/usr/local/bin/tdm"  xterm   on secure</screen>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem><para>Most other distributions are a variation of one of
+these.</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>At this stage, you can test &tdm; again by bringing your system
+to the runlevel that should now run &tdm;. To do so, issue a command
+like this:</para>
+
+<screen><command>/sbin/init <option>5</option></command>
+</screen>
+
+<para>Instead of the number <option>5</option> you should specify the
+appropriate runlevel for running X11 on your system.</para>
+
+<para>The final step is to edit the <parameter>initdefault</parameter>
+entry in <filename>/etc/inittab</filename> to specify the appropriate
+runlevel for X11.</para>
+
+<warning><para>Before you make this change, ensure that you have a way
+to reboot your system if a problem occurs. This might be a
+<quote>rescue</quote> floppy-disk provided by your operating system
+distribution or a specially-designed <quote>rescue</quote>
+floppy-disk, such as <literal>tomsrtbt</literal>. Ignore this advice
+at your peril.</para></warning>
+
+<para>This usually involves changing the line:</para>
+<screen>id:3:initdefault:</screen>
+<para>to</para>
+<screen>id:5:initdefault:</screen>
+
+<para>When you reboot your system, you should end up with the
+graphical &tdm; login dialog.</para>
+
+<para>If this step is unsuccessful the most likely problem is that the
+environment used at boot time differs from the environment that you used for
+testing at the command line.  If you are trying to get two versions of &kde;
+to co-exist, be particularly careful that the settings you use for your
+<envar>PATH</envar> and <envar>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</envar> environment variables
+are consistent, and that the startup scripts are not over-riding them in
+some way.</para>

+<title>Specifying permanent &X-Server;s</title>
+
+<para>Each entry in the <option>StaticServers</option> list indicates a
+display which should constantly be
+managed and which is not using &XDMCP;. This method is typically used only for
+local &X-Server;s that are started by &tdm;, but &tdm; can manage externally
+started (<quote>foreign</quote>) &X-Server;s as well, may they run on the 
+local machine or rather remotely.</para>
+
+<para>The formal syntax of a specification is
+<screen>
+<userinput><replaceable>display&nbsp;name</replaceable>&nbsp;[<literal>_</literal><replaceable>display&nbsp;class</replaceable>]</userinput>
+</screen>
+for all &X-Server;s. <quote>Foreign</quote> displays differ in having
+a host name in the display name, may it be <literal>localhost</literal>.</para>
+
+<para>The <replaceable>display name</replaceable> must be something that can
+be passed in the <option>-display</option> option to an X program. This string
+is used to generate the display-specific section names, so be careful to match
+the names.
+The display name of &XDMCP; displays is derived from the display's address by
+reverse host name resolution. For configuration purposes, the
+<literal>localhost</literal> prefix from locally running &XDMCP; displays is
+<emphasis>not</emphasis> stripped to make them distinguishable from local
+&X-Server;s started by &tdm;.</para>
+
+<para>The <replaceable>display class</replaceable> portion is also used in the
+display-specific sections. This is useful if you have a large collection of
+similar displays (such as a corral of X terminals) and would like to set
+options for groups of them.
+When using &XDMCP;, the display is required to specify the display class,
+so the manual for your particular X terminal should document the display
+class string for your device. If it does not, you can run &tdm; in debug
+mode and <command>grep</command> the log for <quote>class</quote>.</para>
+
+<para>The displays specified in <option>ReserveServers</option> will not be
+started when &tdm; starts up, but when it is explicitly requested via
+the command socket (or <acronym>FiFo</acronym>).
+If reserve displays are specified, the &kde; menu will have a
+<guilabel>Start New Session</guilabel> item near the bottom; use that to
+activate a reserve display with a new login session. The monitor will switch
+to the new display, and you will have a minute to login. If there are no more
+reserve displays available, the menu item will be disabled.</para>
+
+<para>When &tdm; starts a session, it sets up authorization data for the
+&X-Server;. For local servers, &tdm; passes
+<command><option>-auth</option>&nbsp;<filename><replaceable>filename</replaceable></filename></command>
+on the &X-Server;'s command line to point it at its authorization data.
+For &XDMCP; displays, &tdm; passes the authorization data to the &X-Server;
+via the <quote>Accept</quote> &XDMCP; message.</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1 id="tdmrc-xaccess">
+<title>&XDMCP; access control</title>
+
+<para>The file specified by the <option>AccessFile</option> option provides
+information which &tdm; uses to control access from displays requesting service
+via &XDMCP;.
+The file contains four types of entries: entries which control the response
+to <quote>Direct</quote> and <quote>Broadcast</quote> queries, entries which
+control the response to <quote>Indirect</quote> queries, macro definitions for
+<quote>Indirect</quote> entries, and entries which control on which network
+interfaces &tdm; listens for &XDMCP; queries.
+Blank lines are ignored, <literal>#</literal> is treated as a comment
+delimiter causing the rest of that line to be ignored, and <literal>\</literal>
+causes an immediately following newline to be ignored, allowing indirect host
+lists to span multiple lines.
+</para>
+
+<para>The format of the <quote>Direct</quote> entries is simple, either a
+host name or a pattern, which is compared against the host name of the display
+device.
+Patterns are distinguished from host names by the inclusion of one or more
+meta characters; <literal>*</literal> matches any sequence of 0 or more
+characters, and <literal>?</literal> matches any single character.
+If the entry is a host name, all comparisons are done using network addresses,
+so any name which converts to the correct network address may be used. Note
+that only the first network address returned for a host name is used.
+For patterns, only canonical host names are used in the comparison, so ensure
+that you do not attempt to match aliases.
+Host names from &XDMCP; queries always contain the local domain name
+even if the reverse lookup returns a short name, so you can use
+patterns for the local domain.
+Preceding the entry with a <literal>!</literal> character causes hosts which
+match that entry to be excluded.
+To only respond to <quote>Direct</quote> queries for a host or pattern,
+it can be followed by the optional <literal>NOBROADCAST</literal> keyword.
+This can be used to prevent a &tdm; server from appearing on menus based on
+<quote>Broadcast</quote> queries.</para>
+
+<para>An <quote>Indirect</quote> entry also contains a host name or pattern,
+but follows it with a list of host names or macros to which the queries
+should be forwarded. <quote>Indirect</quote> entries can be excluding as well,
+in which case a (valid) dummy host name must be supplied to make the entry
+distinguishable from a <quote>Direct</quote> entry.
+If compiled with IPv6 support, multicast address groups may also be included
+in the list of addresses the queries are forwarded to.
+<!-- Not actually implemented!
+Multicast addresses may be followed by an optional <literal>/</literal>
+character and hop count. If no hop count is specified, the multicast hop count
+defaults to 1, keeping the packet on the local network. For IPv4 multicasting,
+the hop count is used as the TTL.
+-->
+If the indirect host list contains the keyword <literal>CHOOSER</literal>,
+<quote>Indirect</quote> queries are not forwarded, but instead a host chooser
+dialog is displayed by &tdm;. The chooser will send a <quote>Direct</quote>
+query to each of the remaining host names in the list and offer a menu of
+all the hosts that respond. The host list may contain the keyword
+<literal>BROADCAST</literal>, to make the chooser send a
+<quote>Broadcast</quote> query as well; note that on some operating systems,
+UDP packets cannot be broadcast, so this feature will not work.
+</para>
+
+<para>When checking access for a particular display host, each entry is scanned
+in turn and the first matching entry determines the response.
+<quote>Direct</quote> and <quote>Broadcast</quote> entries are ignored when
+scanning for an <quote>Indirect</quote> entry and vice-versa.</para>
+
+<para>A macro definition contains a macro name and a list of host names and
+other macros that the macro expands to. To distinguish macros from hostnames,
+macro names start with a <literal>%</literal> character.</para>
+
+<para>The last entry type is the <literal>LISTEN</literal> directive.
+The formal syntax is
+<screen>
+<userinput>&nbsp;<literal>LISTEN</literal>&nbsp;[<replaceable>interface</replaceable>&nbsp;[<replaceable>multicast&nbsp;list</replaceable>]]</userinput>
+</screen>
+If one or more <literal>LISTEN</literal> lines are specified, &tdm; listens
+for &XDMCP; requests only on the specified interfaces.
+<replaceable>interface</replaceable> may be a hostname or IP address
+representing a network interface on this machine, or the wildcard
+<literal>*</literal> to represent all available network interfaces.
+If multicast group addresses are listed on a <literal>LISTEN</literal> line,
+&tdm; joins the multicast groups on the given interface. For IPv6 multicasts,
+the IANA has assigned ff0<replaceable>X</replaceable>:0:0:0:0:0:0:12b as the
+permanently assigned range of multicast addresses for &XDMCP;. The
+<replaceable>X</replaceable> in the prefix may be replaced by any valid scope
+identifier, such as 1 for Node-Local, 2 for Link-Local, 5 for Site-Local, and
+so on (see IETF RFC 2373 or its replacement for further details and scope
+definitions). &tdm; defaults to listening on the Link-Local scope address
+ff02:0:0:0:0:0:0:12b to most closely match the IPv4 subnet broadcast behavior. 
+If no <literal>LISTEN</literal> lines are given, &tdm; listens on all
+interfaces and joins the default &XDMCP; IPv6 multicast group (when
+compiled with IPv6 support).
+To disable listening for &XDMCP; requests altogether, a
+<literal>LISTEN</literal> line with no addresses may be specified, but using
+the <literal>[Xdmcp]</literal> <option>Enable</option> option is preferred.
