Re:I am quite lost at what your problem really is. I suspect that you are getting a "connection refused" comming from the client you want to connect to. Right? If so, Did you by any chance allow access to that client with its own Xaccess file? Does you firewall (if you are running one), allow connections through port 177 internally?
If I am way off, please explain?

BTW, I would not use CHOOSER BROADCAST in your Xaccess file on your XDM server. I would instead do:

————————–>8——————————–
%hostlist <hostname1> <hostname2>

* CHOOSER %hostlist
————————–>8——————————–

Because BROADCAST is not guaranteed to work. In addition, make sure that the hosts you define on Xaccess are defined in your server's /etc/hosts file. And it would not hurt to do the same for the client as well. Make it a habit to synchronize system files . . .

Good luck.

Re:For an session, there are no params to specify other than if the session is a QUERY/BROADCAST/INDIRECT/OLD INDIRECT.

I have tried using the QUERY session giving it the hostname (stanley) and the ip address (192.168.0.4) of the RH7.2 Box.

I have also tried the BROADCAST session which is able to find that an XDM service is running on the RH7.2 box.

I have also tried using rexec with the default command line "/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -ls -display $DISPLAY".

Checking the Show Messages:

Even when the Show Messages Box is checked, it does not pop up. I have to right click it in the Task Bar and go to show messages.

Nothing out of the ordinary for the sessions: X-Win32 version 5.1.1 build 2
For the rexec session: connection refused. (I suppose I have to setup an rexec server of some sort for this to work)

Re:Can you give us the parameters that you use the session configuration of X-Win32?!??!
Did you try enabling the debbuging options in the X-Win32 message window??

Did you try other forms of access like rsh and rexec?!?

Re:Ok, let's see. In Xaccess, you uncommented the "* #any host can get a login window" line. In Xservers, you added "hostorip:0 foreign" to the bottom. In xdm-config, the last line is uncommented. The only thing it looks like I did differently than you was to enable the font server. Edit /etc/X11/fs/config and comment out "no-listen=tcp". I'm using RH 7.2 for the remote and FreeBSD for the local display, but the config on the 7.2 boxes should be the same.

Re:Have you edited the /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config file? There's a line at the very bottom you need to comment out: "DisplayManager.requestPort:0".

Re:Well I use X-Win32 and what I usually do is a rexec of xterm with "-display <my machine>"!

But I've tried , and it works fine. My Linux machine run RH6.2!! I'll have to check the configurations files to see how is done..


Re:I did get this working, just once, by sheer luck i suppose, on RH6.2.

Not to try and steer you away, but have you looked at something like VNC? If you're local, the speed issue over the net would be negligable, and I believe you can get it to run your fav window manager and such, just not with the traditional login screen. If you just want to run a few X apps this would work well. The really nice thing is you can leave your app running, close the VNC session (leaving the server running) and then come back later and everything will be as it was when you left.
