GDM knows perfectly well what XDMCP is, as do all DM's based on XDM (are there any that AREN'T?).
The default gdm config is fine. Add: gdm: 192.168.0. (or whatever) to your hosts.allow and you'll be fine. If it STILL decides to be weird, look at gdm.conf and make sure you have "Enable=1" in the [xdmcp] section. ----- Marc Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.moonkingdom.net/mwilson -----Original Message----- From: kmself@ix.netcom.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2000 11:22 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: X32-Session under Win32 doesn't work << File: ATT00185.dat >> on Tue, Oct 24, 2000 at 05:45:08PM +0200, Thomas Luft ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > Hi, > > I just installed Debian woody release (because of KDE) and want to > connect my Win32 computer to the linux kdm.

Launch X on the Windows box. You'll want something like the -direct, -indirect, or -query options, forget which 'zactly. Alternative is simply to start an X session and launch stuff by hand from a telnet (ugh) or ssh (yeah!) session. Plus you don't have to worry about your windowmanager crapping out. -- Karsten M.
