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.
