This was due to Tripp-Lite PowerAlert 6.2. It is unhappy on RH9 and will screw with the unprivileged ports needed for the MIT Magic Cookie stuff needed for remote XDMCP.
XDM will fail, once, then work, with this same machine for this same reason.
It's actually PowerAlert and RH9 that are fighting.
It doesn't help matters that the Red Hat kernel 2.4.20 will not work on this system, because the backported 2.5 kernel elements they use do not like the 440GX chipset. So I have to run a vanilla 2.4.20 kernel, which gives memory leaks with RH KDE apps.
