I was wondering if anyone else was trying to use "xdm" in the
RedHat 5.1 linux. It has only worked when logging into the computer
that is running "xdm" from its console. I can't get it to broadcast its
availability as an "X Client" or get the chooser to see any other "X
Clients". I'm using the default settings in the /etc/X11/xdm directory.

Thanks,

Edit the Xaccess file in /etc/X11/xdm - there should be a line with
just an asterisk, and a comment "any host can get a login window" - be
sure this is commented out.

There are some below - CHOOSER BROADCAST, etc. Be sure these all have
asterisks in column 1 and they're not commented out.

On your X server, either use XDCMP Broadcast or Direct query. You may
have to enter some config stuff for your host, but it should be fairly
self-explanatory.

Hope that helps.
