I'm  getting this message:

XDMCP fatal error: Session declined Maximum number of open sessions from
your host reached

It's on a thinclient workstation that had the whole X session crash due
to an open office error.

When the workstation is rebooted and does a:

X -query ip-of-X-gdm-machine

It gets the XDMCP error above.

Reading various posts indicate that the port to the old crashed session
is probably still open for that workstation's IP address and this is
what is causing the error message. 

Is it GDM's job to poll for the crashed X session and shutdown that
gdm-binary or is it some other tasks? 

The solution seems to currently be to cycle the whole dm session, which
we will try at lunch time.

Any suggestions most welcome

TIA

Stu
