Hi, all:

I have got X Window system to work well as expected. Then I want to connect=
 to it from other PCs installed with M$ Windows. I refer to the handbook an=
d see this section: =


-----------------------------------------------
5.6.4 Running a Network Display Server
In order for other clients to connect to the display server, edit the acces=
s control rules, and enable the connection listener. By default these are s=
et to conservative values. To make XDM listen for connections, first commen=
t out a line in the xdm-config file:

! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests
! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm
DisplayManager.requestPort:     0
and then restart XDM. Remember that comments in app-defaults files begin wi=
th a ``!'' character, not the usual ``#''. More strict access controls may =
be desired. Look at the example entries in Xaccess, and refer to the xdm(1)=
 manual page.
-----------------------------------------------

I commented the line as suggested in the handbook, and then connected to it=
 using X-Win32 from M$ Windows, to get the following error: =

???????????????????????????????????????????????????
XDMCP: Manager unwilling: Host unwilling
???????????????????????????????????????????????????

What else shall I do?

Thanks, =

Xu Qiang
