I'm trying setup a Windows 2000 PC to sign on to Red Hat 7.2 using GDM. I've followed the how-to instructions on the internet by Tom Choa, but I always get the same response with either X-win or Winaxe, 'Session Declined'.
Please tell me what I am missing.
Thanks,

xhost +<ip address> export <ipaddress>
from understanding, this should enable access.

I think the problem you are having is that GDM hasn't been configured to accept the XDMCP request. To put this right you can, on ths box itself, run gdmconf. Select Expert from the list of Options in the top left. Now go to XDMCP on the list of options that appears at the top. You'll need to do all of this as root. If that doesn't work or the RedHat machine has no display of it's own then you'll have to use an editor to alter /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf to enable XDMCP.

Jesus H. Christ, you picked a lot of inappropriate groups for this crosspost. Followups to col.networking.
Edit Xaccess (probably in /etc/X11/xdm) to let xdm listen on the network for XDMCP requests. This involves adding '*' on a line by itself to that file.
Then run X from your Windows machine like so:
XWin -query HOSTNAME -once
Those are the two things I did to get it working here. I suspect you are trying to do too much and inadvertently broke something that was already working just fine.
