Description Pavel 2002-08-29 13:18:49 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020828

Description of problem:
I configure kdm to enable XDMCP. When I try to connect using indirect method, X
server just keeps restarting. Query method works well. 
I see the following message in /var/log/messages:
kdm[22712]: Greeter exited unexpectedly
kdm[22712]: Abnormal helper termination, code 1, signal0
kdm[22648]: Unknown session exit code from manager process

I upgraded to kdebase 3.0.3-5 - same behavior

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start kdm with XDMCP enabled
2. connect from remote terminal using X -indirect

Actual Results:  X server keeps restarting

Expected Results:  Get chooser window.

Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still
running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a
current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable.
Some information on which option may be right for you is available at
http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/.

Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do
want to make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks.
If this issue is still present in a current Fedora Core release, please
open a new bug with the relevant information.

Closing as CANTFIX.
