OK. I'm here to answer my own problem. After many hours of digging, trial and error and everything else I could could think of, here it is. For XWin32 to run X from a windows box it runs 'rsh' which looks in the file /etc/hosts.equiv for the Windows 95 client - host name. Once I put either the name of the Windows machine OR it's IP address (192.168.1.2) like so; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # $FreeBSD: src/etc/hosts.equiv,v 1.4 1999/08/27 23:23:41 peter Exp $ # #localhost #my_very_good_friend.domain #laptop 192.168.1.2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XWin32 fired up! > After an upgrade from 4.0RELEASE to 4.2 STABLE > I can't use XWin32. > > XWin32 Help says that when error message "incorrect login" > pops up it's because there is some security feature > enabled that will not accept normal login names from remote > terminals > > I CAN connect OK with a text only emulator (Putty) > > and the network seems to be working fine as far as ppp > use and samba. > > Any ideas?
