Mike,

I've checked rc.conf and the hostname is defined and a 'hostname'
command on the workstation confirms this. I've added a /etc/hosts file
on the workstation (through the /conf/default directory on diskless
server) with the following:

127.0.0.1   localhost
196.31.157.162  diskless02.csc.jnb6.za.uu.net (server)
196.31.157.130   csc01.csc.jnb6.za.uu.net (workstation)

confirmed that localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1 on the workstation. KDM
still refuses to pass to Xorg.
