I have set up a server (holler) with kdm (4:2.2.1.0-6 according to the Debian package version numbering) and a handful of X-terminals. The X-terminals connect with the line
xq:3:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/X -indirect holler in their /etc/inittab. This works fine, they get the kdm chooser screen with a list of hosts. But for the entry for holler itself, the status is reported as "Display not authorized to connect". Despite this, you can select it and connect no problem. So the reported status is incorrect. It should say "Willing to manage" - or even better, give the ouput of /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc/Xwilling. Any ideas?
