Hi,

Things to check;

  1. is xdm visible in `ps'? (sorry, have to ask :-)) Any error messages
     in /var/log/* ?

      Yes, xdm is running.
      As for the /var/log/xdm.errors here is what it says

xdm error (pid 17473): error 98 binding socket address 177
xdm error (pid 17473): Cannot open randomFile "/dev/mem", errno = 2
xdm error (pid 17475): server reserve cannot be executed
xdm error (pid 17481): server reserve cannot be executed
xdm error (pid 17508): server reserve cannot be executed
xdm error (pid 17639): server reserve cannot be executed
xdm error (pid 17647): server reserve cannot be executed
xdm error (pid 17473): Server for display :1 terminated unexpectedly: 1
xdm error (pid 17659): server reserve cannot be executed
xdm error (pid 17473): Server for display :1 terminated unexpectedly: 1
xdm error (pid 17668): server reserve cannot be executed
xdm error (pid 17473): Server for display :1 terminated unexpectedly: 1
xdm error (pid 17681): server reserve cannot be executed
xdm error (pid 17473): Server for display :1 terminated unexpectedly: 1
xdm error (pid 17473): Display :1 is being disabled
xdm error (pid 17480): server open failed for :5, giving up
xdm error (pid 17473): Display :5 cannot be opened
xdm error (pid 17507): server open failed for :4, giving up
xdm error (pid 17473): Display :4 cannot be opened
xdm error (pid 17638): server open failed for :3, giving up
xdm error (pid 17473): Display :3 cannot be opened
xdm error (pid 17646): server open failed for :2, giving up
xdm error (pid 17473): Display :2 cannot be opened

  2. can you see the network socket xdm is listening on with `netstat -a'?

No it is not listening. Maybe because of the first line of the xdm.errors
log.

  3. does your Xservers file (/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers or
     /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers) specify no-listen tcp?

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Here is my /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file :

:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt7
:1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt8
:2 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :2 vt9
:3 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :3 vt10
:4 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :4 vt11
:5 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :5 vt12

Are you trying to see it via xdmcp broadcast, or via an XDM client/chooser
or X-Terminal that allows you to specify a hostname?

Via xdmcp broadcast (I am using Exceed).

Out of curiosity, are you setting up a thin client network? Nope, just
trying it.

Sam.

Thank you for helping,
Benjamin.

PS : I'am using SuSE SLES 8 based on United Linux.
