I've configured my RH9 to respond to xdmcp and have even successfully 
tested it with another xserver. But my attempts at getting the cygwin 
startxdmcp.bat command

Xwin -query hostname -nodecoration -lesspointer

to get me to a login have not been successful. The server (192.168.1.2) 
seems to respond as in this dump

root cygwin window closes

Unfortunately this sequence isn't generating errors to xdm-error.log.
I'm thinking that either there is an xdm configuration setting or Xwin 
option that I don't have set up. I've tried the -from and -port options 
with no affect.

Any advise is appreciated
