Problems with Redhat 3.0 GDM/XDM

[Steve Kozakoff]

I am using RH AS 3.0 and gdm on a Dell PE 2300.

On my desktop I have cygwin for remote X. My command to start a remote
X session from my desktop is:
start XWin.exe :0 -query XX.XX.XX.XX -screen 0 1280 1024 -nowinkill
-unixkill

Of course this is in the startxwin.bat file with some other additional
setup for the X environment.

Howdy all.  We have recently just purchases a Dell 1750 (woo hoo) and
want to run Xwindows remotely  off of it.  I have installed Redhat AS
3.0 and I use gdm as the window manager.  I have an x86 p4 which runs
Redhat 9.0 running a similar configuration with absolutely no problems
what so ever. Unfortunately with the AS 3.0 XDMCP refuses to work
properly with either gdm or xdm even though the setup is identical to
the working 9.0 on the P4 setup.  

I have attached the error log when I use xdm (/var/log/xdm-errors) to
this email.
I get the same problem when I try to use x-win32 or the Xwin -query <> 
from a cygwin window.

I might add that the machine I am trying to connect to is in the same
subnet/network setup as the Redhat 9.0
machines which do work.  I have turned off iptables and all other forms
of firewalls between the machines.
My /etc/X11/xdm/XAccess has * for access points, and I have commented
out the last line in xdm-config.
hosts.allow and hosts.deny in /etc is clear.  Im totally at a loss as
to what or why this refuses to work.  If anyone
has any insite, I would greatly appreciate it.
