XDMCP

[Jean-Claude Gervais]

Maybe the session is starting up on the remote host, but then shutting down
unexpectedly because of security or a file-not-found condition or something
like that.
It sounds like CygwinXFree IS working for you, because you say that you DO
get the login screen, right?
So it must be something in the remote session that is making your link go
down...
Sorry I can't help more.

I'm trying to connect up to a machine at work using XDMCP.  My home machine
is Win2k + Cygwin + XFree86.  I made sure to use the cygwin setup program
to get the latest packages.  I'm using the -query option to do this, i.e.
XWin -depth 32 -engine 4 -fullscreen -refresh 85 -screen 0 1024 768 -query
$remotehost
I get the login screen, enter my username and password and attempt to
login.  For some reason, I just get bounced back to the login screen
again.  I've been unable to get this to work.

Any ideas as to what could cause this?
