remote xdm login screen probs - more info
Hi,
Using dhcp to get my linux box to sit on the (Win NT/95) network here
at work. Fine - i can telnet in OK.
Tryng to get a remote xsession going using xwin32 from a win 95
machine. It'll show up on a choser list if i do a xdmcp -broadcast thing
with xwin32 (shows up as 'available' whilst there's some sgi's which come up
as 'willing to manage').
Anyway, selecting my machine won't bring up the xdm login window (will
with the sgi's...), i just get some error message from xwin32 whihc exactly
is:
"XDMCP: Session failed: session 369920001 failed for display
UKJHAG217600.ukjh.zeneca.com:0:cannot open display"
(UKJJHAG217600.ukjh.zeneca.com is the name of the machine from which I'm
trying to connect).
Meanwhile, on the linux box my /var/log/xdm-errors file is as follows:
<XF86Config file stuff>
.
xdm error (pid 244): Cannot convert Internet address 156.71.78.38 to host
name
xdm error (pid 244): Cannot convert Internet address 156.71.78.38 to host
name
.
.
(lots of times)

xdm error (pid 601): server open failed for UKJHAG217600.ukjh.zeneca.com:0,
giving up

xdm error (pid 244): Display UKJHAG217600.ukjh.zeneca.com:0 is being
disabled
where 156.71.78.38 is the numeric address of UKJHAG217600.ukjh.zeneca.com.
The nameserver's set OK (from dhcp), so it's not that.
Any body got a clue?
Ta,
Martin
