Hi Folks,
I am using Cygwin for more than a year now to log into several machines via
XDMCP.
No I am transferring my admin workstation. And with cygwin on the new
machine there is a problem I did not have before:
- using "X -broadcast" gives me the login screen of one of my servers, and
I can work with it as usual.
- using "X -query HOSTNAME" in all variants I know leads to a blank grey
screen with no login of my servers, even if I substitute HOSTNAME with the
one that always wins the race at "X -broadcast".
So all of the normal cures against the "no login" problem (like allowing
XDMCP on the server you want to log into) are of no use - all thas has been
solved a year before when I started using Cygwin.
I have looked into netstat on the cygwin box. After the "X -query ..."
there is a connection on port 6000.
Now googling for this phenomenon brought nothing enlightening, googling for
"XDMCP no login cygwin" only leads to 2 million variants of "enable XDMCP
on your server".
I am quite stuck. Any hint or help is appreciated.
Dirk
