This means that XDMCP has not been enabled on your server. In other words, there is no service listening for display manager requests from your clients. In order to enable an XDMCP server, you need to be running a display manager like kdm/gdm/xdm and configure it to listen for XDMCP requests. For KDM, you can edit the /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc file and find the section [Xdmcp] (spelling exactly that). There should be an 'Enable=...' option. Make sure it is set to 'true' (i.e., 'Enable=true' without quotes). Restart your kdm display manager. It might be easiest to switch to runlevel 3 then back to 5 to accomplish that. Otherwise you can kill the kdm process, and it should be respawned. If it is not, then you will need to manually restart it. I think on Mandrake the display manager is a service and no longer run from inittab. If that is the case, you should be able to run 'service <something> restart' or 'service <something> stop; service <something> start' where <something> is the display manager service name (don't have Mandrake 9 in front of me to find out). A similar process is needed if using GDM as the display manager. You can run the GDM configuration tool or edit the GDM configuration file manually. There is a similar section that enables XDMCP (might be all lowercase, don't remember). For XDM, you will need to modify the /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess file to remove the '#' and ' ' (space) at the beginning of the '# * # anyone can get a login' line. Hope that helps. - -- Jason A.
