I'm having a rather serious error today. I provide X desktops to thin clients on my network. They use gdm to log in and have been successful in doing so until very recently. Two days ago, I added a new harddrive to the system and moved files over to it using the 'find <mounted source> -mount -print | cpio -p -v <mounted target>' command. Everything seemed to work fine, so I left Georgia and went back home to Minnesota. The following day, everything seemed to work just fine. However, when I get into the office this morning, one of the users reported to me that she could not log in to her workstation. So, on to debugging... I tried to start a remote X desktop from the XDM server in question. It failed, miserably. I checked the logs (below) for any clues, but couldn't find any -- I'm fairly new to the details of XDMCP, etc. The only thing I can think about may be a possible permissions problem on the part of the file system (as I forgot to add the preserve ownership flag in the cpio string). I've tried uninstalling (and purging) the gdm package multiple times, but that does not fix the problem. (My reason for doing this would be to ensure that the permissions of the gdm files in the least would be correct.) So, my question to you is, "Can you help me?" The following is a log of what I felt may be important to you. This was generated using the "debug" flag enabled and connecting with a remote desktop from our VPN. PLEASE RESPOND via email TO ME as well as to the list. I receive this list in digest format and would prefer to have any responses immediately rather than waiting for the next volume. Thank you.
