Re: Can't Get XDMCP Login on Mandrake 9.0 Box from XP

["Curt Lindner" <curt at lind-net dot com>]

Harold, I did set "Enable=True" in the kdmrc file.

Per the XDMCP-HOWTO, I also set Port=177, and I note now that the Willing=
keword is blank.

Was I not supposed to set Port=177?  Should I set "Willing=" to some other
value?

 Thanks for the response.
