Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide

To Use the First Available Host Login

    Type the following command and press Return:

	/usr/openwin/bin/X -broadcast

This starts the Xserver. On the local sub-net, it broadcasts a request for an XDM (X Display Manager) login service. If any systems on the sub-net are running the Solaris CDE Login Manager (or any other XDM-based login window), the first host to respond places its login window on your desktop.
