Re: RH 7.2 and xdm

Perhaps xdm wants to nslookup the ip address so that it can print "Welcome to <hostname> at the top of the screen".

Make sure there is an entry for localhost in /etc/hosts.  Make sure to put in an entry for your hostname in there pointing to 127.0.0.1 as well.

Subject: RH 7.2 and xdm


Has anyone had trouble with xdm running properly on RH 7.2 when using DHCP.
When the system boots a gui login screen never appears.  If I statically
assign the address and hostname everything works fine.  Could somebody offer
an explanation for this?


Thanks,
