The remotes run "X -query <servername>" to get a remote xdm session
from <servername>.
Hmm. I'm not sure how to make that work. I've used ssh in the past to
log on another computer then run X programs but never X itself like
this. I just get errors. I'm guessing the server needs
setup/configuration to allow the connection.
Correct. xdm on the server needs to be configured to listen for XDMCP.
On my systems this is done by commenting out the
DisplayManager.requestPort line in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config like this:
!DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
Then restart xdm. Of course, this assumes that you use xdm to manage X
logins. You may be using gdm or KDE's equivalent (kdm?).
The problem may also manifest itself when using ssh, but I haven't tested
that. Using ssh would clearly be the way to go over an untrusted network,
but over the LAN we simply use XDMCP.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
