After all those people that looked, no-one spotted the deliberate mistake.
(blush, for not proof reading it properly). I had two number 3s.
Anyway, back to this problem. I don't know enough about it, but my best
guess would be
edit Xaccess and uncomment the line '* #any host can get a login
window'
a) RedHat 6.2, 7.1, 7.2 -' /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess'
(was number 3, second one, now number 4)
Ensure the line begins with the *
This is what I believe will give you the login window.
Hope this helps.
Dave.
