I spent some time on google and have X working now, so for the benefit of the list I will answer my own question. Problem is that xdmcp was not running or not restarted to accept requests over the network after changing kdmrc. To fix the problem, I had to restart rcxdm: /usr/sbin/rcxdm restart Now if I do "netstat -ap|grep xdmcp" I get: udp 0 0 *:xdmcp *:* Now after running "sh /tmp/start_ws" the graphical KDM login appears :) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Jabber - The world's fastest growing real-time communications platform!
