- Subject: cygwin loops when connecting to xdmcp server running kdm
I installed cygwin and xfree86 for cygwin. I am unable to connect to the
xdmcp server. I run "/etc/X11R6/XWin.exe -query xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -from
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
The screen open then closes then opens then closes. It sits there and
loops. Here is what is in the dos screen.

Now I know this is not a configuration issue that I know of on the linux
box running the XDMCP Server.
I have also installed X-Win32 which is a commercial application. It
connects just fine.
Thanks,
