Comment 1 Sung Kim 2005-10-21 20:24:31 UTC
When we log into the linux server with Exceed over XDMCP broadcast and enter 
username/password, we don't get GNOME desktop but just blank screen forever 
until we execute "service xinetd restart" on the linux server or restart gdm. 
We don't have a problem for first 14 ~ 16 days every time we restart a linux 
server, but after this period, we must restart xinetd every hour otherwise 
noone can use GNOME desktop. It is very annoying. I'm not sure what is wrong 
with our linux environment. We are currently using:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update 5)
Linux lsfnode0 2.4.21-32.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue May 17 17:46:36 EDT 2005 x86_64

Can you attach an strace -f to the xinetd when the problem starts occuring?  
That might help us narrow down precisely what's going wrong.
