Hello,
I am connecting to an HP-UX 11.0 machine CDE desktop from a windows station using Exceed with no problems.
When I try to do the same from a Linux station using XDMCP query (XFree86 4.x server) I only get to see the black screen with the sand clock mouse pointer and nothing more.
The same thing happens when I use XFree86 server from windows (cygwin).
When I use the XFree servers to connect to an HP-UX 10.20 with VUE desktop or AIX with CDE they work fine.
Do you have an idea?
ThanX!

If you want truly to understand something, try to change it. (Kurt Lewin)

From your description and if I understand correctly that the problem only occurs when trying to run an XDMCP client on the local linux systems then I'd say the most likely cause is fonts !
It sounds if you see the egg timer that the XDMCP bits have worked and you are waiting to see the dtgreet and dtcopright screens which use fonts :
I'd try the following :
On the hpux system running CDE :
1 - The font server needs to be configured to include the CDE fonts in its catalog
EDIT: /etc/X11/fs/config
Append ",/usr/dt/config/xfonts/C" to the end of the "catalogue = ..." line
EDIT: /etc/rc.config.d/xfs
Set the following variable: "RUN_X_FONT_SERVER=1"
EXECUTE: /sbin/init.d/xfs start
If the font-server is already running, kill it and restart it.
2 - Force CDE to add the font-server to the X-Server font-pathby editing the Xsetup file. (NOTE: This steps REQUIRES the IP address of the CDE session server. You can get
this information by running: nslookup `hostname`.)
COPY: /usr/dt/config/Xsetup to /etc/dt/config/Xsetup
EDIT: /etc/dt/config/Xsetup
Add the following line to /etc/dt/config/Xsetup replacing
"IPADDRESS" with the IP address of the server as returned from "nslookup `hostname`":
$XDIR/xset fp+ tcp/IPADDRESS:7000 1>/dev/null
3. Lastly add the fontserver to the linux systems font path before attempting any XDMCP'ing .... use xset fp+ tcp/IPADDRESS:7000 (see man page)

Re: XDMCP to HP-UX machine
check the /etc/dt/config/Xaccess file and /usr/dt/config/Xaccess file on the HP 10.20 whether it grants the XDMCP access to your Linux machine.
check the /var/adm/inetd.sec file too.
X -query from command line mode should bring the Xwindows of HP server.
