I use XDMCP to connect up to it from my desktop. Up till about a week ago this was working like a champ, but that has changed since I ran portmanager. Now KDM dumps core the moment I probe it for a connection from a remote box. here is a bit from /var/log/messages: Nov 21 13:56:42 jerseygirl kernel: pid 91116 (kdm), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Nov 21 13:56:42 jerseygirl kdm[630]: Unknown session exit code 0 (sig 11) from manager process Nov 21 13:56:42 jerseygirl kernel: pid 91128 (kdm), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Nov 21 13:56:42 jerseygirl kdm[630]: Unknown session exit code 0 (sig 11) from manager process Nov 21 13:56:44 jerseygirl kernel: pid 91140 (kdm), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Nov 21 13:56:44 jerseygirl kdm[630]: Unknown session exit code 0 (sig 11) from manager process KDM works fine from the console, I am able to log in just fine when I am sitting in front of the box in question, but as soon as I try to connect remotely KDM crashes & is promptly revived only to crash again. In Cygwin/X on the remote box I get the traditional X windows gray hash screen & the "X" cursor for a split second then KDM crashes & the process starts anew. I have run into one other user who has the same problem. It presented itself to them after upgrading from KDE 3.4.2 to 3.4.3. I noticed the issue after portmanager rebuilt KDE after libidn (/usr/ports/dns/libidn) was moved from /usr/ports/devel to /usr/ports/dns. If you have the ability to check & seem if KDM is accepting remote requests could you please do so to confirm the problem? Also, any advice on how to track this issue down would be much appreciated! -Will
