Re: XDMCP client using Cygwin/Xfree86

Hi,

That solves the local socket problem, is the Xserver likely to need the temp
folder for anything else (log files spring to mind, can I switch these off).

If so, where in the code do I change the /tmp default - I spent most of this
morning looking through the code but drew a blank (I don't know either C or
makefiles so I was probably looking past it or in the wrong place).

Thanks

Jeb
