How would I find out?  AFAIK my hostname and DNS are all set up
correctly.

Okay, apparently xdm was using the wrong XF86Config file; it was using
a previous try that I saved rather than the one in /etc/X11.  While I
don't have any idea why it was doing that, deleting the old one caused
it to use the correct file and fixed this problem.  Thanks for the
help anyway.
