Re: XDMCP on Windows 95

Ah ha... okay, but in this case it would be good to at least rule out the non-standard port as a possible culprit. Once the port is ruled out, we can move on to other possible solutions.

You're correct, I should have said 'product foo'...
I took Microsoft as example because it was the first company I had in
mind. I don't have anything against Microsoft, otherwise I wouldn't use
Cygwin ;)

In the company I'm working now, almost every network TCP port is
customized. What I wanted to say is :
If the port 1234 is used with some X servers with XDMCP and it crashes,
some online customer helpdesk will say : "You don't use standard XDMCP
port, I can't do anything for you. Get lost." I don't want Cygwin-Xfree
to do the same.

Okay, okay, but I didn't want to be that hard on Sylvain as he is a
good contributor to our discussions... I just wanted to put up a friendly reminder that everyone, I more so than others, should sometimes tone down our messages. That's all.

I am not understanding why your response was appropriate.  The

port for XDM has nothing to do with Microsoft, unless Microsoft has

decided to use port 177 for one of their products.  If that was the

would

have been sufficient, right?

AFAICT, it's the standard Cygwin response #13, issued when someone

is

confused about the process and wants to make a point by letting

everyone

know how bad Microsoft is and exhorting all of us not to be that

way.

In other words, it was a value-free message.  Alexander's response

was

perfectly clear and he didn't need to be taken to task for some

imagined

attitude.
