I use xdm, and I want other systems to be able to use X -query hostname to
act as terminals connected to my system.  When they try, they get a blank X
screen and no login prompt.  I don't know whether they're successfully
connecting and not getting the prompt, or not connecting at all.  On my
system, I made only these two changes;


/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess

  I put the name of each "terminal" on a line by itself



/etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config

   I commented out this line:

DisplayManager.requestPort:   0



What else do I have to do?  Is there a HOWTO that I missed that covers this
exactly?



Once I get this working, I want to change at least one of the "terminals" so
that it permanently acts like a terminal, i.e. so that the user doesn't have
to use X -query", the login prompt appears immediately after booting.  I
expect to have to change /etc/inittab (maybe just change the default
runlevel and then go into rc#.d), but I have no idea where to go from there.
Any hints to get me started?

David
