Log file for Win2k/Remote Login Screen

[Marc]

Just a recap, I wasn't getting my remote login window when grabbing a
display from a machine running xdm stuff..

Turns out my installation was ok, but there was an old DNS entry associated
with my IP address and it must have been trying some funky reverse look up
stuff before giving me my display.  I changed the IP to one with no DNS
entry and everything is fine now.

I need to figure out how to tunnel these remote displays through ssh or
another type of encryption, but I don't see any possibilities.  I don't like
sending my password in the clear via xdmcp.  Anyone working with this?

Thanks!
Marc
