XDMCP and Redhat 7.2

[Matthew Bradford]

Harold,

First, thank you very much for your time and attention.  Now onto the
results of your last email:

I've tried that before, but I tried it again just to be sure... and still no
go.

did you get my previous email talking about the connection refused issue?  I
think this is related.  The only way I can get any remote X app to run is
when I tunnel it through SSH.  Setting the export variable doesn't work.
(even when i run xhost + and/or pass the -ac option to the X server)  It is
acting as if access control is on still.

Any ideas on how to fix that?  I'll put ya money on it that is the issue.  I
just have no idea how to fix it.

    - Matt
