Ingo, this shouldn't be this difficult. I suspect that at some point you have modified something that you should not have. You have two options:
1. Continue to pick at this problem until you understand what's failing. 2. Reinstall Red Hat 9 from scratch, and then reinstall LTSP.
ok, I have choosen the second possibility, since we should open this cyber on Monday - so I am a bit in a hurry ;-)
Interesting, I installed RH9 from the scratch, I did neither install KDE nor GNOME. This gave me graphical Login, then a X-Window with I think twm and one single xterm-window. I rember this as one of the fallbacks in some X-script. Then I installed the icewm RPMs, a special version for RedHat 8 from the Rule-Project. I included the proposed .xession in the users home and tried to login - no icewm, still twm. Now the very interesting part: I realiyed that I had forgotten to chmod a+x this script - doing this, and loging in again reproduced the error I had before: The Loginwindow reapears some seconds after I entered user and password - no winowmanager at all.
So I guess now that this special version of iceWM is missing something which is needed for xdm. Is this possible? (the last question is more for our friends at the RULE-project, I used iceWM-1.2.7-3RULErh8.0.i386.rpm). Because we use these packages since ever on RH9 with out problem, but always w/o xdm.
Thanks in the meantime to all who contributed so far, I can do no more checking for today, but I will keep you posted about the results. Ingo.
