That's so complicated! Xceed for me just lists the systems which have
XDM, GDM, or KDM running on my network. I just click on the host I
want to connect and, viola, I get a login banner. This works under RH
5.2. RH 6.0 needed debugging turned on inorder for GDM to work.

My RH 6.1 system is a dual-boot with Xceed software, so I don't
connect to it with Xceed.

I've forgotten if there is any setup required.
