Re: XWin --query


Greg,

I think you need to either attempt to connect from another Windows machine to the same linux box with XDMCP, or you need to attempt to connect to another remote linux machine using XDMCP from the same Windows box. You need to prove to yourself that the problem is on one end or the other.

I did update the Linux box with the latest patches recently, that may be
causing the problem, but somehow I think it is the cygwin/xfree86 end.

Is it possible that kdm configuration got overwritten, and now it does not allow connections from remote hosts?


Pavel.



I have used ethereal on the linux box to monitor the tcp/ip traffic.

The remote connection is allowed, but when the linux box tries to
connect back to the cygwin/xfree86 box, its messages seem to be ignored.

I am not running any kind of firewall on the cygwin/xfree86 box and they
are on a common LAN.

It seems almost like I need to issue a 'xhosts +node' on the cygwin box,
but I have not done that in the past and the cygwin box is not rejecting
the linux box, it is just ignoring it from what I see.

Has there been a security change that now requires xhosts +node to be
run somehow with the XWin --query command?

Greg
