We''re in the process of evaluating FDS, but have run into a small problem. I''m forwarding X from the server back to my OS X box running Apple''s X11. When I run startconsole, I get a half-drawn login window. I''ve tried a few different jvms from different vendors, no luck. http://mirrors.playboy.com/~bmoyles/fds-console.png I''m sure I''m missing something simple here... Any thoughts? Thanks for your time, Brian Moyles Sr. Systems Administrator Playboy Enterprises, Inc.

I''ve tried 1.4.2 and 1.5 from Sun as well as 1.5 from IBM. Same deal. Right now, I don''t even have JAVA_HOME configured--I''ve got java in the path right, though, and set up with alternatives so it''s technically the only one that should be found.> I''ve been able to redirect to my OS X box before, but that was with an > earlier Directory Server version.

I''m sure it''s something weird I''m missing.Tried this to my iMac G5 at home today--same deal. The login window fails to complete drawing. I''m going to try forwarding to Cygwin on a Windows box in a minute.
