RE: 4.1.0: XDMCP query to Solaris hangs

["Roy Razon" <royr at multiconn dot com>]

This is the Solaris log file (/var/dt/Xerrors) after a successful connection
from my PC using Xmanager:

Mon Jul  9 11:55:46 2001

Couldn't find the keyfile

This is the log after the display hangs using XFree:

X Error of failed request:  86
  Major opcode of failed request:  51 (X_SetFontPath)
  Serial number of failed request:  10
  Current serial number in output stream:  12

(This message repeats 6 times)

A font server is configured and running on the Solaris.

Any ideas?
