xrdp was working now its not. 11.4

everything was working fine.
I didn’t change any settings, but now I get login failed.
I checked the password and I using the correct pasword.
for the first account I used when installing openSUSE I get past the login but then the rdesktop client hangs and then closes whit the incomplete message “error: did not receive a reply. possible causes include…”
the other account I created doesn’t accept the password.
I checked /var/log/xrdp-sesman.log and it was empty.

this has me puzzled.
I can rdesktop localhost and it accepts the password, but when I try from a remote it fails…

AND I can remote with success when I login as root…

hell I am so turned around right now…
I have two servers and I think I was trying to remote to the wrong one…
maybe I’ll figure this out today…
