If anyone can assist me in at least understanding how an XDM determines the
display name of the display querying it for management, I will be able to
come up with my own solution to the problems below.
Thanks in advance,
Shaddy

Subject: Frustrating dtlogin problem
I run Xvnc on a Solaris 7 host of which I have no admistrative
control. This off course restricts my ability to create the unix-socket
required to access the display at the unix address. So, I pass the -pn
"accept failure to listen on all ports" and use only the inet display name.
When I attempt to use XDMCP with the server in this mode, I am running into
the following problem. If I pass the -query localhost "contact named host
for XDMCP" option, the dtlogin XDM acknowledges the query, but attempts to
manage the display using the unix display name. The following exert from the
/var/dt/Xerrors log file demonstrates this.

error (pid 12512): Server open attempt #0 failed for :9, giving up
My work around for a considerable period of time has been, to omit
the option all together (i.e. unmanaged display) and to manually call the
/usr/dt/config/Xsession.ow script, emulating what dtlogin would do with a
new login session. I have continued to use this workaround because I
suspected that dtlogin might be determining that the query came from a local
display, and automatically attempting to connect to it through the
unix-socket, and I lacked the time to verify this 100% and find a workaround
with dtlogin.
My questions are... has someone actually run into this same problem?
How does the XDM know which display and the display name it should manage?
If it is dtlogin, is there a configuration to workaround this? Any other
workarounds?
Many thanks,
Shaddy
