Re: Cygwin XFre86 -> Redhat XDM login


I'll check gdm.  I know hosts.allow is set up right.  I can telnet, FTP, SSH,
HTTP, SWAT, et.c to the Linux box.  I have commented out the last line
.../xdm/xdm.conf and modified the .../xdm/Xaccess file.

BTW, I didn't mean to put down XFree86 in any way.  It is a great product.
 Folks have put a lot of effort int it.  I'm just gtying to resolve this one
issue.

Thanks,
Steven
