I have the entry * #any host can get a login window In both the local machine, and the corresponding file on the remote machine (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xaccess). Yet I get the response, Fatal server error: XDMCP fatal error: Session failed Session 444176001 failed for display hawkins.cba.uni.edu:1: Cannot open display xdm is running on both machines. I use ssh to get to the remote machine, set the display variable to the local machine, cut and paste my xauth code, and get nsSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 xterm Xt error: Can't open display: hawkins.cba.uni.edu:0.0 Then, going for broke, I try using xhost from the local machine to enable the remote display: hawkinsttyp8:hawk>xhost + dhcp252-100.vlc2-100e92.cfu.net dhcp252-100.vlc2-100e92.cfu.net being added to access control list and in the window to the other machine, and get the same result. As I understand these files, the * in Xaccess in the *remote* machine should be enough to get a login screen on console vt8, and *either* the xuath codes or the xhost+ should give me the remote screen the ability to use the local server (and should not be affected by any xdm settings). rick hawk
