Re: XDMCP on Windows 95






Okay, okay, but I didn't want to be that hard on Sylvain as he is a good contributor to our discussions... I just wanted to put up a friendly reminder that everyone, I more so than others, should sometimes tone down our messages. That's all.

I am not understanding why your response was appropriate. The default port for XDM has nothing to do with Microsoft, unless Microsoft has decided to use port 177 for one of their products. If that was the case, then a simple mention that ``Product Foo'' uses port 177 would have been sufficient, right?

AFAICT, it's the standard Cygwin response #13, issued when someone is
confused about the process and wants to make a point by letting everyone
know how bad Microsoft is and exhorting all of us not to be that way.

In other words, it was a value-free message.  Alexander's response was
perfectly clear and he didn't need to be taken to task for some imagined
attitude.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the interest! Just to get things back into perspective... The reason for choosing some random port number for debugging xdm was because I couldn't kill the daemon on port 177 as this machine is being used by other people .

I was able to fire off a solaris desktop session on my windows 95 machine from the xdm on the server, but wasn't sure how to do it the other way round i.e. run the XWin -query command and get it to connect to my xdm debug instance running on the different port. Is this possible?

Thanks for the help,

JS.
