I have a SuSE 8.2 installation. I am attempting to use Cygwin/XFree86 to start an X session using XDMCP. XDMCP is not on by default so I have performed the following changes:
* Enabled XDMCP in /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc by setting
"Enable=true" for the [Xdmcp] section.
* Modified /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config to comment out
DisplayManager.requestPort by putting a "!" in the first character.
* Uncommented the "*" line in /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess and
/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xaccess. Note there are two different
lines in each file. The difference seems to be one is of the form
of "* CHOOSER BROADCAST" and just the plain "*". I've tried all
combinations to no avail.
* I have only one NIC.
* I've tried xwin -query sonslinux -from adefaria, same problem.
* Sonslinux sits right next to me and I can login using KDE just
fine on the console - I just can't get a remote X session from my
XP box to put up a chooser.
* XWin.log always seems to indicate "XDM: too many retransmissions"
as the problem (Sample XWin.log attached). Note that XDM: too many
retransmissions only shows up after waiting for a while.
* Nothing listed in /var/log/messages nor /var/log/kdm.log on sonslinux.In all cases, after making a configuration change I restart kdm.
