*snort* I can't help but laugh, David! No, not at your predicament, but rather at the funny coincidence that you and I are both looking at the same problem but from opposite ends! LOL
So I take it that you're running Windows, and you'd like Windows to be the "server" (you're right - probably the wrong terminology here) and permit Linux boxes to XDMCP to your Windows machine? If that is the case, I *think* your Windows machine should run Xnest and your Linux machines should then connect to it. Looks like I'm probably backward... OK, more reading of the docs is in order. I will get back to you if I figure anything out. Please do the same.

Is it possible to run XDMCP as a "server" (sorry probably wrong terminology) on the cygwin side, so I can run say Xnest from Linux, connect to XDMCP on Cygwin, login...? And what does the xdm running as root message mean ... I even tried creating a user called root and that didn't work... Just out of interest David
