*snort*
I can't help but laugh, David!
No, not at your predicament, but rather at the funny coincidence that you
and I are both looking at the same problem but from opposite ends! LOL
So I take it that you're running Windows, and you'd like Windows to be the
server (you're right - probably the wrong terminology here) and permit
Linux boxes to XDMCP to your Windows machine?
If that is the case, I *think* your Windows machine should run Xnest and
your Linux machines should then connect to it. Looks like I'm probably
backward... OK, more reading of the docs is in order. I will get back to you
if I figure anything out. Please do the same.
Thanks
Jean-Claude

Thanks.
An equal and opposite reaction... Is it possible to run XDMCP as a server
(sorry probably wrong terminology) on the cygwin side, so I can run say
Xnest from
Linux, connect to XDMCP on Cygwin, login...?
And what does the xdm running as root message mean ... I even tried
creating a user
called root and that didn't work...
Just out of interest
