Description John Cagle 2000-08-13 15:02:44 EDT

The XDMCP implementation in "gdm-2.0beta2-35" is broken.  It will not manage remote
X Terminals even if "Enable=1" in the [xdmcp] section of /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf.

The beta4 version works for me.  Here's a note from it's ChangeLog:

1999-09-30   <mkp@mkp.net>

     * daemon/xdmcp.c (gdm_xdmcp_handle_query): Get XDMCP running again.

Please update this package to the beta4 version.  I downloaded mine from:

   ftp://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/pub/helix/distributions/RedHat-6/gdm-2.0beta4-0_helix_6.i386.rpm

Comment 1 Glen Foster 2000-08-13 16:18:32 EDT

This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Winston Gold-release

Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2000-08-13 21:44:10 EDT

I'm putting a new RPM into 7.0test that fixes this in testing.
I've asked Havoc to review the change, since it is a fix to
a fix of his, but I think it is correct.

(The Red Hat 2.0beta2 is a essentially a separate branch which
is considerably better than the stock 2.0beta4. Merging all
our patches to the stock 2.0beta4 would be impractical, and,
in any case, the maintainer has abandoned gdm2 and is now
working on gdm3.)

Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2000-08-13 22:15:39 EDT

Owen's fix looks good to me.

Comment 4 John Cagle 2000-08-14 10:50:50 EDT

If you send me the fix, I'll be glad to test it.

Comment 5 John Cagle 2000-08-20 10:49:14 EDT

Tested gdm2.0-beta2-37 from Havoc.  Works for me!
Thanks!
