Remote Graphical Desktops and XDMCP
If you have installed the X Window System and would like to log in to your Red Hat Enterprise Linux system using a graphical login manager, enable the X Display Manager Control Protocol (XDMCP). This protocol allows users to remotely log in to a desktop environment from any X Window System compatible client (such as a network-connected workstation or X terminal). To enable remote login using XDMCP, edit the following line in the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system with a text editor such as vi or nano:
Add the line Enable=true , save the file, and exit the text editor. Switch to runlevel 5 to start the X server:
/sbin/init 5
