Re: [xfree] Re: Cygwin XFre86 -> Redhat XDM login
Hi all, I must not have been doing a 'kill -1' on the right process. Rebooting the RH server got the login screen coming up. But now, it exits back to the login screen when I try to login. I am getting a 'Can't open display' message in my RH account ~/.xsession-errors file. I am now looking at the recent XDMCP thread. I am very close now. There seems to be a xhost command missing somewhere.

Re: Cygwin XFre86 -> Redhat XDM login
I'll check gdm. I know hosts.allow is set up right. I can telnet, FTP, SSH, HTTP, SWAT, et.c to the Linux box. I have commented out the last line .../xdm/xdm.conf and modified the .../xdm/Xaccess file. BTW, I didn't mean to put down XFree86 in any way. It is a great product. Folks have put a lot of effort int it. I'm just gtying to resolve this one issue.

Re: Cygwin XFre86 -> Redhat XDM login
Have you enabled XDMCP over internet? Depending on whether you are running XDM, KDM or GDM, check /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config Comment out the appropriate line /etc/X11/xdm/kdmrcSet Enable=true for [Xdmcp] /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf You may also have to alter you firewall rules to allow UDP packets to port 177.

Re: Cygwin XFre86 -> Redhat XDM login
Stephen, Are you sure you are running xdm and not gdm. If you're running the latter, then you need to edit gdm.conf to enable xdmcp. If you're running the former, I assume that xdm.conf must be edited the same way. Also check that your hosts.allow allows connections from the remote machine.

Cygwin XFre86 -> Redhat XDM login
Hi all, I've been reading man pages, FAQs, and everything I can think of under Cygwin, RedHat 7.1, and the XFree86 web site. I have been trying to figure this out off and on for months. However, I can not figure out how to run an XFree86 session under Cygwin on my WinXP Pro system to get a login session on my RH 7.1 system. I have played with the files in /etc/X11/xdm on the RH system. I played with XWin, xinit, and startx with -queue and -broadcast options under cygwin. All I get on the Cygwin side is no X11 window at all or a blank checkered default pattern X11 window. I do not seem to be getting any error messages besides "Giving up." I've been dealing with X11 for over 10 yers. But this XFree86 stuff is causing me to pull out my hair! BTW, XDM is running fine on the RH box and Gnome comes up just fine. I just don't keep a monitor attached to the system and the system is in another room. Any help to figure out what I am doing wrong will be really appreciated. Thanks! Steven :) -- trying to keep a happy face.
