Hi Martin, You replied to me privately instead of to the list. Better reply to the list, as there might be others (either now or in the future) who are interested in the solution. ;) I hope you do not mind that I replied to the list instead of replying to you.

I hope you have an ssh server running on that file server. If so, you can login on that box in text-mode with:

Yup. :)
If you can't use a Linux box, use putty instead. That's an ssh client that runs on windows (google for putty+windows).
Aha again.. I was about to ask :)
Oh, and have a look at /var/log/messages, /var/log/warn and /var/log/Xorg.*.log to see what went wrong. ;)
Xserver died during startup... (kdm[9112]) It says...
Anything in /var/log/kdm.log? (forgot about that one... ;) BTW, do you need to have X running on the file server?
BTW: Patrick on 81.2.197.43- I have now disabled the port...
Better stealth all ports, open those ports you *need* to be open, and only close port 113 (ident). And don't tell others what you did. If they have some grey matter working, they already know before they read this mail. And if not, then you don't have to worry. ;P Cheers, Leen
