+ &kdm; master configuration file
+ _
+ Definition: the greeter is the login dialog, i.e., the part of &kdm;
+ which the user sees.
+ _
+ You can configure every X-display individually.
+ Every display has a display name, which consists of a host name
+ (which is empty for local displays specified in {Static|Reserve}Servers),
+ a colon, and a display number. Additionally, a display belongs to a
+ display class (which can be ignored in most cases; the control center
+ does not support this feature at all).
+ Sections with display-specific settings have the formal syntax
+ "[X-" host [":" number [ "_" class ]] "-" sub-section "]"
+ You can use the "*" wildcard for host, number, and class. You may omit
+ trailing components; they are assumed to be "*" then.
+ The host part may be a domain specification like ".inf.tu-dresden.de".
+ It may also be "+", which means non-empty, i.e. remote displays only.
+ From which section a setting is actually taken is determined by these
+ rules:
+ - an exact match takes precedence over a partial match (for the host part),
+ which in turn takes precedence over a wildcard ("+" taking precedence
+ over "*")
+ - precedence decreases from left to right for equally exact matches
+ Example: display name "myhost:0", class "dpy".
+ [X-myhost:0_dpy] precedes
+ [X-myhost:0_*] (same as [X-myhost:0]) precedes
+ [X-myhost:*_dpy] precedes
+ [X-myhost:*_*] (same as [X-myhost]) precedes
+ [X-+:0_dpy] precedes
+ [X-*:0_dpy] precedes
+ [X-*:0_*] (same as [X-*:0]) precedes
+ [X-*:*_*] (same as [X-*])
+ These sections do NOT match this display:
+ [X-hishost], [X-myhost:0_dec], [X-*:1], [X-:*]
+ If a setting is not found in any matching section, the default is used.
+ _
+ Every comment applies to the following section or key. Note that all
+ comments will be lost if you change this file with the kcontrol frontend.
+ The defaults refer to &kdm;'s built-in values, not anything set in this file.
+ _
+ Special characters need to be backslash-escaped (leading and trailing
+ spaces (\\s), tab (\\t), linefeed (\\n), carriage return (\\r) and the
+ backslash itself (\\\\)).
+ In lists, fields are separated with commas without whitespace in between.
+ Some command strings are subject to simplified sh-style word splitting:
+ single quotes (') and double quotes (") have the usual meaning; the backslash
+ quotes everything (not only special characters). Note that the backslashes
+ need to be doubled because of the two levels of quoting.
+
+[General]

+
+ Rough estimations about how many seconds &kdm; will spend at most on
+ - opening a connection to the X-server (OpenTime) if the attempt
+ - times out: OpenTimeout
+ - is refused: OpenRepeat * OpenDelay
+ - starting a local X-server (ServerTime):
+ ServerAttempts * (ServerTimeout + OpenDelay)
+ - starting a display:

+<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 &kdm;, but &kdm; 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 &kdm;.</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 &kdm; 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 &kdm; 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 &kdm; starts a session, it sets up authorization data for the
+&X-Server;. For local servers, &kdm; 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, &kdm; passes the authorization data to the &X-Server;
+via the <quote>Accept</quote> &XDMCP; message.</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1 id="kdmrc-xaccess">
+<title>&XDMCP; access control</title>
+
+<para>The file specified by the <option>AccessFile</option> option provides
+information which &kdm; 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 &kdm; 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 &kdm; 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 &kdm;. 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, &kdm; 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,
+&kdm; 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). &kdm; 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, &kdm; 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.
