I'm NOT giving up. This is now my mission in life (when I'm not doing what
I'm supposed to be doing). The guy with Win2K can login into the linux box
again (must not have rebooted the box or something for my last post). WinXP
clients no dice. I physically changed the the runlevel on the linux box by
invoking:
# init 3
gdm -debug 10 -no daemon
2nd line invokes the display manager, which by default puts the system back
in run level 5? Hence, that's why I didnt need to explicity change to run
level 5 as I erroneously did in previous posts? Also explains why the system
would display the message "display 0 already active, launching display 1"?

I deleted all the log files from the /var/log/gdm folder. They were a lot of
them, and they didnt seem to be changing from one day to the next. Following
deletion, of these files I asked the Win2K guy to login, and then I tried to
login, and no new 0:log files were generated in this sub-directory.
Apparently, individual login attempts are not logged here.
I need more specific guidance from the forum. I keep pasting the log entrys
for the gdm into my mail, and they look the same - debug mode or not. Are
these the log entries you are looking for? How do I discern which entry
corresponds to the Win2K attempt vice the WinXP attempt?
