Re: [gdm-list] trouble with gdm

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

Jean:

A few ideas:

Try setting DisallowTCP to true.  Some users have complained that this
setting affects XDMCP even though it should not.

Also, refer to this bug:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436725

You say you are seeing a crash, so this problem may be the same as what
you are seeing.  This bug has a patch so if you can rebuild with it, 
then this might make things work better.

Also, you might try upgrading to the latest version of GDM.  GDM 2.19.1
has newly rewritten XDMCP code that should work better.  You might find
more joy with it.
