Is xdm actually running on the Redhat system? On most Linux systems it isn't started by default I don't think, I usually add it to the rc.local file. -- Chris Green (chris@areti.co.uk) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

To check whether xdm is running, you can use "ps -ef | grep '[gkx]dm'". If it is running, check /var/log/messages to see if there are any complaints.
