Cannot connect to Mandrake 8.1 from Windows X-Server

[Pure Krome]

Hello folks.
I just installed mandrake 8.1 at home.
Works fine.

It's running KDE.
Windows [W2K] software i'm using is X-Win32.
In X-Win32, i'm trying to do XDMCP Query.

When i was using and older version of Mandrake (7.0?), i used to connect properly.

I cannot remember what i did to get X-Win32 to connect.

I -DO- have xfs running though ... here's a list of my procs...

***
xfs 3225 0.0 1.0 4788 3464 ? S Oct30 0:00 xfs -port -1 -daemon -droppriv -user
xfs
***

thanks for any help

-PK-

I know this doesn't answer your post, but, I noticed something running that you shouldn't have running:

rpc 1236 0.0 0.1 1560 568 ? S Oct30 0:00 portmap

Security issue. Disable it if at all possible. (I'm not sure if it is required for anything, or if it is just running...so...)

and in /etc/X11/xdm i do have Xaccess

and this is it.

.......
<snip>
......
In all cases, xdm uses the first entry which matches the terminal;
# for IndirectQuery messages only entries with right hand sides can
# match, for Direct and Broadcast Query messages, only entries without
# right hand sides can match.
#

* #any host can get a login window

#
# To hardwire a specific terminal to a specific host, you can
# leave the terminal sending indirect queries to this host, and
# use an entry of the form:
#

#terminal-a host-a


#
# The nicest way to run the chooser is to just ask it to broadcast
# requests to the network - that way new hosts show up automatically.
# Sometimes, however, the chooser can't figure out how to broadcast,
# so this may not work in all environments.
#

* CHOOSER BROADCAST #any indirect host can get a chooser

#
# If you'd prefer to configure the set of hosts each terminal sees,
# then just uncomment these lines (and comment the CHOOSER line above)
# and edit the %hostlist line as appropriate
#
