Thanks again for all advice Followed /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess ...nothing there finally found it under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xaccess. So all I need to do is remove the #........ Is this another example of a diff between SuSE and RH or a diff between SuSE and everyone else? James Carter

Well, that's exactly where our FreeBSD system stores it. -- Christopher Dawkins, Felsted School, Dunmow, Essex CM6 3JG 01371-820527 or 07798 636725 cchd@felsted.essex.sch.uk

On mine, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm is symlinked to /etc/X11/xdm. This is probably because /etc/X11/xdm is a 'better' location in the sense that /etc is supposed to hold this type of information (see the FHS documents if you want details). Can you post an exact list of the steps you had to take, so that I can add this information to the CygXF86 package? Thanks in advance, Michael
Will do...when I get it working. Do I need to restart something before my
removal of the hash becomes effective?

You will need to restart kdm. You can *probably* do this by logging on to a text console as root, then typing: init 3 init 5 This works on Red Hat-derived systems. YMMV. Rebooting the machine will definitely pick up the new changes, but is not necessary. HTH, Michael
Just so I have some clues to work with.
Is the fact I am getting a movable X cursor on the win98 machine a sign I am
actually conected to the server? But just not quite far enough?

No. Try this test from the linux machine itself: 1. Log on as root to a text console (press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get one of these) 2. Run X :1 -query localhost and see if you get a login window appearing. Michael
I don't claim to know what I'm talking about, just what I did to get remote KDM etc working. If I'm way off, please someone correct me... -- Have you got any dns working? This was the problem I had. If you havn't, put the win98 machine in /etc/hosts on your linux server (yes even if you're using ip's to connect with) in the format... 10.0.0.3 nameofwin98.domainname nameofwin98 (replace 10.0.0.3 with the IP of the win98 box, and the names, obviously!) This sorted my problem with Xclients/servers. If that doesn't work, try putting the linux machine in your c:\windows\hosts file on the windows machine. Not sure if this last one will help at all.

That's interesting, because it works for me without the X server (i.e. the Windows workstation running CygXF86) having a DNS record. In my setup, the workstations use DHCP and get anonymous addresses (i.e. no DNS A or PTR records exist for them). The servers have fixed IP addresses that exist in DNS, so the workstations can look up the servers but not vice-server. It would be interesting to hear what other people find does/doesn't work.
