Tomy,
You are having a problem with the Display manager,
probably KDM, GDM or XDM.
It sounds like the display manager isn't listening on
port 177 for incoming connections from the workstations.
To prove this, do this:
netstat -anp | grep ":177 "
it will probably return nothing at all.
The next step would be to figure out which display
manager is configured to run on your server.
Try this:
ps -e | grep dm
That should show something like:
10713 ? 00:00:00 kdm
29551 ? 00:00:01 sendmail
In the example above, you'll see that 'kdm' is the
display manager running on my system.
Notice that 'sendmail' appears, that is because it matched
what you are grepping for 'dm'.
Anyway, once you figure out whether it is kdm, gdm or xdm,
you need to configure it to allow remote requests.
here is what to do for whichever display mgr is enabled
on your system:
kdm edit the /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc file, and look for
the '[Xdmcp]' section. Make sure it says:
[Xdmcp]
Enable=true
gdm edit the /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file and look for
the '[xdmcp]' section. Make sure it says:
[xdmcp]
Enable=true
xdm edit the /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config. Look for the
line that says 'DisplayManager.requestPort' and
make sure it is commented out.
You should only need to configure one of the display managers
above, whichever is running on your system.
If none of the display managers are running, then you need
to make sure your server is in runlevel 5. You can verify
this with the 'runlevel' command. It should produce
output like this:
N 5
The 2nd field indicates the current runlevel.
And finally, once you have configured your display manager
to allow remote connections, you need to restart the
display mgr. In your case, I recommend that you just
reboot the server.
Once rebooted, you should be able to run
the netstat command (shown above) again, and see output like this:
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:177 0.0.0.0:* 26318/kdm
