Hi all,
I'm trying to connect to xdm on my Linux box running Debian Woody to
use my Windows box as an X terminal. My problem is, I can't get a
login window. I've done the following on the Linux box:
In the Xaccess file, I uncommented the following line:
* #any host can get a login window
In the xdm-config file, I commented out the following:
! DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
I can see that xdm is running on the Linux box. I then edited the
startxdmcp.bat script that comes with cygwin and set REMOTE_HOST to
the ip of my Linux box.
After these steps, when I run startxdmcp.bat I just get an emtpy root
window, no login window. After a while it times out and /tmp/XWin.log
looks as follows:

Fatal server error:

winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress
On the Linux box, in xdm.log I get:xdm error (pid 485): Hung in XOpenDisplay(192.168.0.1:0), aborting
xdm error (pid 485): server open failed for 192.168.0.1:0, giving up
xdm error (pid 239): Display 192.168.0.1:0 cannot be opened
xdm error (pid 239): Display 192.168.0.1:0 is being disabled
The strange thing is the reference to display 192.168.0.1:0 in both
/tmp/XWin.log and xdm.log. The Windows box has IP 192.168.1.2 and the
Linux box 192.168.1.1.
Any clue as to what the problem is here?
Thanks in advance.
Johan
