Also, check if you have any .Xauthority files. Try moving the existing 
ones are regenerating them. If you are running an X server, "xauth 
generate <host>" connects to the server and generates new cookies. You 
can copy the resulting .Xauthority file to Red Hat 7.2 machine.

One thing to try is turn on debugging in the XDMCP server. I don't know 
how this is done with kdm. xdm has a -debug flag.
