XDMCP issue - no login dialog from Linux to Cygwin

[Hislop Family]

Harold,

I followed the instructions in there (you know, I thought I'd searched the 
archives.....) and XDMCP was already enabled in kdmrc.

I also followed the instructions at 
http://www.monkeynoodle.org/comp/remote-x-cygwin-howto, and found that XFS 
wasn't running, but that has made no difference.

I'm beginning to think I have a more fundamental problem that should be in 
another forum - I'm also having problems getting proftpd to accept 
connections, and the log says something like (not at the PC right now, so 
this is from memory) that it can't get an IP address for 
narbalek.nsw.optushome.com.au. Probably not a surprise, because no doubt 
it's doing a DNS search, and I've configured the PC to use DHCP off the 
Linksys router. I tried changing the hostname back to just narbalek 
(originally I set it to the one above as the installation suggested), but 
it came back up on reboot as the full one with domain name. Maybe that's 
DHCP doing it, I don't know.

Anyway, I'll research that one some more. Haven't found a 
"Linksys/Netgear/etc/etc HOWTO" yet ...

Thanks for your help.

regards - David
