RE: Unable to login using X-Win32

["J.Sivakumar" <jsiva@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Atul,

Thank you for your reply, but I opened the file you mentioned
(/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess) (given below) but I am not able to understand what to
do (am a dumbo ;))

I just tried uncommenting some lines, one by one for indirect,
broadcast...but nothing worked out.

Please advice me how to do.

I shoud get the my Linux server in my Windows X-Win 32 either in broadcast
or indirect mode.

Sorry for sending queries to this list. This will not be repeated ;)

Regards,

JSiva

# Access control file for XDMCP connections

# To control Direct and Broadcast access:
# 	pattern
#
# To control Indirect queries:
#
# 	pattern		list of hostnames and/or macros ...
#
# To use the chooser:
#
#	pattern		CHOOSER BROADCAST

# The first form tells xdm which displays to respond to itself.
# The second form tells xdm to forward indirect queries from hosts matching
# the specified pattern to the indicated list of hosts.
# The third form tells xdm to handle indirect queries using the chooser;
# the chooser is directed to send its own queries out via the broadcast
# address and display the results on the terminal.
# The fourth form is similar to the third, except instead of using the
# broadcast address, it sends DirectQuerys to each of the hosts in the list
#
# In all cases, xdm uses the first entry which matches the terminal;
# for IndirectQuery messages only entries with right hand sides can
# match, for Direct and Broadcast Query messages, only entries without
# right hand sides can match.
#
#*					#any host can get a login window

#
# To hardwire a specific terminal to a specific host, you can
# leave the terminal sending indirect queries to this host, and
# use an entry of the form:
#

#terminal-a	host-a


#
# The nicest way to run the chooser is to just ask it to broadcast
# requests to the network - that way new hosts show up automatically.
# Sometimes, however, the chooser can't figure out how to broadcast,
# so this may not work in all environments.
#

*		CHOOSER BROADCAST	#any indirect host can get a chooser

#
# If you'd prefer to configure the set of hosts each terminal sees,
# then just uncomment these lines (and comment the CHOOSER line above)
# and edit the %hostlist line as appropriate
#

#%hostlist	host-a host-b
# *		CHOOSER %hostlist	#
