Thanks in advance for your help! I have a RedHat7.2 installation with LTSP
3.0. All was working fine until I believe I performed an up2date from
Redhats site then the login went South on me. All I get from the work
station is a grey screen with an x that I can move with the mouse. My tail
from the messages log is:

A netstat -ap | grep xdmcp gives me the following
udp 0 0
*:xdmcp *:* 1384/kdm
I checked the kdmrc xdmcp and made sure that it was NOT changed to disable.
I am not sure where to solve the above error about not being able to
convert Internet address 192.168.0.1 to host name.....Here is my kdmrc file:
# KDM configuration example.
# Note, that all comments will be lost if you change this file with
# the kcontrol frontend.
#
# Definition: the greeter is the login dialog, i.e., the part of KDM
# which the user sees.
#
# You can configure every X-display individually.
# Every display has a display name, which consists of a host name
# (which is empty for local displays), a colon and a display number.
# Additionally, a display belongs to a display class (which can be
# ignored in most cases; the kcontrol config frontend does not support
# this feature at all).
# Sections with display-specific settings have the formal syntax
# "[X-" host [":" number [ "_" class ]] "-" sub-section "]"
# You can use the "*" wildcard for host, number and class. You may omit
# trailing components; they are assumed to be "*".
# The host part may be a domain specification like ".inf.tu-dresden.de".
# From which section a setting is actually taken is determined by these
# rules:
# - an exact match takes precedence over a partial match (for the host part),
# which in turn takes precedence over a wildcard
# - precedence decreases from left to right for equally exact matches
# Example: display name "myhost:0", class "dpy".
# [X-myhost:0_dpy] precedes
# [X-myhost:0_*] (same as [X-myhost:0]) precedes
# [X-myhost:*_dpy] precedes
# [X-myhost:*_*] (same as [X-myhost]) precedes
# [X-*:0_dpy] precedes
# [X-*:0_*] (same as [X-*:0]) precedes
# [X-*:*_*] (same as [X-*])
# These sections do NOT match this display:
# [X-hishost], [X-myhost:0_dec], [X-*:1], [X-:*]
# If a setting is not found in any matching section, a default is used.
#
# Every comment applies to the following section or key.
#
# XXX do this on a per-display basis: should be [X-*-Desktop]
