I'm having a little problem with a recently updated Fedora box. I used to run a remote KDE session using C/X after setting things up as follows on the linux machine:
1) open ports 177:udp, 6000:tcp and 6001:tcp in the firewall. 2) in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc set Enable=true in the [Xdmcp] section 3) in /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess uncomment the line allowing any host to get a login 4) in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config comment out the DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 line and then creating a new startx.bat on windows which ran run XWin -rootless -clipboard -unixkill -silent-dup-error -query 192.168.0.6 After upgrading to Fedora Core 4 and repeating that, I can no longer get a session going. C/X sits there for a bit, then throws out an error. The logfile says: winProcEstablishConnection - Hello winProcEstablishConnection - Xdmcp enabled, waiting to start clipboard client until fourth call.

Meanwhile, /var/log/messages on the FC4 machine just says: kdm: homestar:0[3687]: cannot connect to homestar:0, giving up kdm[2587]: Display homestar:0 cannot be opened and kdm.log repeats Xlib: connection to "homestar:0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key If I telnet homestar 6000 whilst C/X is running though, I get a connection both with and without the PC firewall running (Kerio). If I run C/X locally, then ssh to the FC box and run startkde, everything works - though the fonts look a little off.
