Read the xdm man page:
OVERVIEW
xdm is highly configurable, and most of its behavior can
be controlled by resource files and shell scripts. The
names of these files themselves are resources read from
the file xdm-config or the file named by the -config
option.
==> xdm offers display management two different ways. It can
==> manage X servers running on the local machine and speci
==> fied in Xservers, and it can manage remote X servers (typ
ically X terminals) using XDMCP (the XDM Control Protocol)
as specified in the Xaccess file.
Then make sure all lines are commented in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers and the
correct setup is in /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess. Start xdm as normal.
