Step 3: Enabling access to the remote display

If you only want to manage the local display, you can skip this step.

If you want scologin to manage a remote display that is running the X server, you must enable the server to provide access to your host machine. On the system where the display is to be managed, edit the /etc/Xn.hosts file, where n represents the display number you want to use. Add the name of the host machine where scologin will be running.

For example, to gain access to the scooter:1 display, include the name of the scologin host machine in the /etc/X1.hosts file on scooter.
