I am trying to use Cygwin/XFree86 to log in vi XDMCP to a Linux
server. I believe I have done my due diligence in searching through
available documentation, as well as the archive for this list (though
obviously I missed something...). Since I am still unable to solve my
problem, I am posting to the group.
Here are some relevant facts:
- My Windows box is running Win2K.
- I have the latest installation of Cygwin/XFree86, as of this
writing.
- My Linux server is running RedHat 7.2.
- My LAN is 100 Mbit ethernet, with static IP addresses sitting
behind
a firewall.
I believe I have kdm configured correctly on the Linux box. This is
because I downloaded and installed a shareware X server (Xmanager),
and I am able to get an XDMCP session when using that application.
I have used various command switches when running XWin, but here is
the latest:
Xwin -ac -query DFLin72 -port 177
When I run the above command, I get a blank Xserver window with no
login window. At that point, I am able to run an xterm from the Linux
system and display it on XFree86 if I set the DISPLAY on Linux. Still
no XDMCP login, though.
When I run tcpdump and sniff udp port 177 on the Linux system, here is
what I see:
tcpdump: listening on eth0
09:14:33.954990 Newoffice.4837 > 192.168.10.11.xdmcp: udp 7

Note that last message. Right when it showed up in tcpdump, the
XFree86 server window vanished. Here are the contents of
/etc/XWin.log at this point:

Any ideas? I would sure like to get this working before the 30-day
clock expires for Xmanager.
Cheers,
