Hey, that was me and it was a useful test! :-) We now know that X is working and that gdm is listening for XDMCP but is not accepting any connections. Name resolution has (just about) been eliminated as a potential cause and this is useful because name resolution accounts for approximately 50% of all problems. I don't know about the internals of GDM, but it seems as though it's an access control issue. Does GDM use xdm's configuration files or does it have its own? Michael
