OK no response; let's add a little flavor.
I have been attempting XDMCP connections with kdm which
for some reason (despite the font thing) has caused server
rejections. So I decided to use XDM as the XDMCP server
and am now getting the following:
Fatal server error:
XDMCP fatal error: Session failed Session 470256003 failed for display xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.client.attbi.com:1: Cannot open display
Seems there is no problem with authentication.
Don't know what the problem is but thought maybe the
difference in Xfree86 distributions might be a problem. The
XDMCP server (client machine) is running XFree86 4.3.0 and the
client (X server) runs XFree86 4.1.0.
The XDM.log contains:
XFree86 Version 4.3.0

X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6

I also tried X :1 -broadcast as well as X -broadcast.
Any suggestions?
