Mike, Maybe the up2date updated the /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess file.
This file needs to have a line that starts with an asterisk '*' as the first char on the line. Maybe it enabled iptables/ipchains. Try: iptables -L or ipchains -L To see if any ports are being blocked. Also, is your workstation listed in the /etc/hosts file ? Newer versions of KDM will NOT work unless they can map the IP address to a workstation name. Hope that helps, Jim McQuillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu, 28 Feb 2002, Mike Ickes wrote: > Thanks in advance for your help! I have a RedHat7.2 installation with LTSP > 3.0.
