Can't get XDMP to work

[Johan Parin]

Hi all,

I'm trying to connect to xdm on my Linux box running Debian Woody to
use my Windows box as an X terminal. My problem is, I can't get a
login window. I've done the following on the Linux box:

In the Xaccess file, I uncommented the following line:

*                                       #any host can get a login window

In the xdm-config file, I commented out the following:

! DisplayManager.requestPort:   0

I can see that xdm is running on the Linux box. I then edited the
startxdmcp.bat script that comes with cygwin and set REMOTE_HOST to
the ip of my Linux box.

After these steps, when I run startxdmcp.bat I just get an emtpy root
window, no login window. After a while it times out and /tmp/XWin.log
looks as follows:

winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress


On the Linux box, in xdm.log I get:xdm error (pid 485): Hung in XOpenDisplay(192.168.0.1:0), aborting
xdm error (pid 485): server open failed for 192.168.0.1:0, giving up
xdm error (pid 239): Display 192.168.0.1:0 cannot be opened
xdm error (pid 239): Display 192.168.0.1:0 is being disabled

The strange thing is the reference to display 192.168.0.1:0 in both
/tmp/XWin.log and xdm.log. The Windows box has IP 192.168.1.2 and the
Linux box 192.168.1.1.


Any clue as to what the problem is here?

Thanks in advance.
