I am trying to get XDMCP working over SSH on CentOS 4.4 from a windoze box running Cygwin/Putty
I have set Enable=true in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf restarted the X server, logged in with Putty and X11 forwarding enabled. I then try to start the Xserver with the following commands
# gdmXnestchooser localhost or # Xnest :1 -query localhost
Both commands will successfully display a X window and show the X mouse pointer but not the chooser. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Dean

Perhaps your ssh tunnel isn't configured properly. Let's see how you're setting up the tunnel.

Or, as an alternative you might like freenx on the server and the nomachine NX windows client. It gives better response over low bandwidth or high latency connections and allows you to suspend a session and reconnect later, perhaps from a different location.
