Ok, sorry I am assuming that I am being clearer than I actually am with my description. I have successfully connected to XDMCP sessions to Solaris and RH Linux 7.2 sessions. I am using the command:
XWin.exe -screen 0 1024x768x65536 -query linux.address.here -from my.address.here I have also used ssh to connect to the same remote clients (both RH 7.2 and 7.3), but have been unable to remotely operate any x item. (a xclock for instance) I would like to know how to do a XDMCP session from a windows installation of Cygwin and Xwin to RH 7.3. I would also like to know what you meant about being able to open and manage multiple ssh sessions inside one cygwin environment window.
