likely optional. At least one current TigerVNC deployment configuration (Multi-user) replaces the X server with a socket-based service which spawns individual network connections on demand. It's my understanding also that local X support, particularly for
Wayland implements Unix sockets, replacing the X server.

I'm the author of CDM. A while back, I changed my GitHub username (and my username pretty much everywhere) from ghost1227 to evertiro. Hence, the URL on the CDM link is incorrect. I attempted to update it myself, but it got flagged for advertising. Additionally, CDM is listed as inactive. It is...
452:
References to this topic in the main article needs to be updated although of course years after these comments were originally posted, today the
Display Manager still exists and will not be renamed. But, it should be noted that today deploying an X server for both local and remote connections is
587:
Some of the negatives are either ancient news or due to xdm / xdmcp misconfiguration (and unix networking mis-configuration). Note for passwords XDM uses pam(1) or login(1) and it can't be intercepted locally - only if you use X to transport over a remote connection. XDM always uses a DES
588:
encryption for the key for X. Yea X is a standard unix networking app and like any should be either openssl secured or configured or ssh secured. But it's not a big deal for most people what XDM and X do is good enough without the extra site-specific security configuration headaches.
855:
but it isn't. CDM still gets maintenance updates on occasion, but the lack of updates isn't due to inactivity, it's simply feature complete for what I originally intended. Since it has basically zero external dependencies, it doesn't require updates just because a dependency updates.
823:
Am surprised to see SDDM listed as "Active" Am not modifying the article itself because don't know what "Active" is supposed to mean. SDDM has never supported XDMCP and RFB which means remote desktop apps like VNC are not supported... Whereas perhaps every "Inactive" DM does support.
560:
It needs to be clearly explained as it is both crucial and complex. How else can we get interactions with
Operating Systems without GUI consoles? In the future Cloud Technologies, it will become absolutely essential to have good remote GUIs.
424:. Since the session manager a.k.a. the X display manager will likely also have to be ported from X11 to Wayland (I am assuming that because of the "X" in the naming), should the article be renamed and should we create a different article?

I also oppose merging as the display manager has nothing in common with the window manager. The biggest difference is that the window manager is a user task and the display manager is a system task.
350:
236:
438:
The session manager is started by the display manager. They are completely different. Also the window manager is not a display manager. None of these concepts directly translate to wayland.

IMO it's not for the
Knowledge community to rename anything, conventional nomenclature by people who use the technology should always be accepted and used consistently.
531:
499:
443:
480:. However, it seems that other window managers have their own articles, and that the XDM article could possibly be expanded. I therefore disagree with the merge. -
