RHEL5 xdmcp not working for connection to windows 7 box
I am running a RHEL5 box and I have xdmcp up and running. I want the hostname of this box showing up only in the xdmcp choosers of certain specific systems, and in RHEL5 using gdm, it appears the only way to prevent the name from appearing in all xdmcp choosers is to use the hosts.allow file. This box is going to have some of my users logging in from their home computers and through DHCP connections, so I'd like to use hostnames rather than IP addresses in hosts.allow. This works fine for my other linux boxes and my windows xp boxes, but for some reason, it fails for my windows7 boxes. It fails out with 'Fatal Error: Manager Unwilling' when I try to use exceed (an X server for Windows) to establish an xdmcp connection. If I use the IP address of a windows7 box, it works fine, but just not the hostname. I thought it might be a name resolution problem, and since nslookup works, I tried setting dns first in my nssswitch.conf, but that didn't help. I've been googling for hours, but to no avail. Anybody have any ideas?

gdmsetup provides a graphical interface that enables you to modify the GDM configuration file, custom.conf. gdmsetup can only be run as the
root user. If the "greeter/ConfigAvailable" GDM configuration is set to "true", then users can access gdmsetup from the login screen, but
still need to enter the root password before allowed to modify any configuration setting.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
gnome-std-options Standard options available for use with most GNOME applications. See gnome-std-options(5) for more information.
