Harold, Thanks for your help. I've found the problem. My RedHat machine had been brought down to runlevel 3; I must have done that weeks ago and forgotten, it's in a building half a mile from my office. Anyway, after bringing xdm back up, the XDMCP logon screen appeared immediately.
Sorry for the mistake and thanks very much, Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harold L Hunt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Andy Lemmon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Alexander Gottwald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 3:24 PM Subject: Re: XDMCP Logon to RedHat 7.2 > Andy, > > Check this out and make sure that Hummingbird's SOCKS is not installed: > > http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-04/msg00467.html > > Harold > > > Andy Lemmon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > > > Yes, I believe nonlocal access is permitted to the RedHat server.
