RE: 1.7.1: no xdmcp login prompt after upgrade

["Bennett, Tony" <Bennett dot Tony at con-way dot com>]

Is your IPTRACE from the "remote" host's perspective, 
or from your cygwin-X perspective...???

I ask because I too am using 1.7.3 with "-query"  
and I'm having problems... but only after "successfully" logging
onto the remote system.

I ask because I too am using 1.7.3 with "-query"  
and I'm having problems... but only after "successfully" logging
onto the remote system.  Meaning I'm getting further than you.

Here's my "startup" (note I'm using a fontserver on the XDM host):
   XWin -logverbose 255 \
        -ac \
        -query dmsdev.con-way.com \
      -fp \"tcp/dmsdev.con-way.com:8000,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/Type1/\" "

Thanks,
