I'm using X-win with my network and it works fine.

Go to /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess and make sure you have 

*                               # Any host can connect
OR
192.168.1.                      # Subnet hosts can connect (I'm not sure the
syntax if you have to put 192.168.1. or 192.168.1.0 etc..etc..)


*       CHOOSER BROADCAST       #any indirect host can get a chooser

I use the broascast as rexec recquires screwing around with inetd.conf and
putting DISPLAY enviroment options into the command line argument.. I hate
that...

Do you have xdm running?
If you do then only allow your IP subnet to connect like I have to eliminate
anybody else connecting to you server..

Subject: [SLUG] Remote xsessions in Redhat


Hi,

I am trying to set up remote X logins for some Windows (using X-Win32)
boxes into Redhat 6.1.

A mandrake box here just required enabling rexec in inetd.conf, but the
Redhat boxes fail with... Too many retransmissions....

Any ideas?

- Colin
