Hi,
is anyone on this list successfully using xdm from xfree86 4.1 (current
woody) to manage X terminals? For me it works with servers running
xfree86 3.3.6 but not with servers running xfree 4.1.
The server is running a recent woody (about one week old). xdm manages
the local display and is configured to accept direct queries, '-nolisten
tcp' has been removed from /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc and
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers:
-SNIP- <
The client's X server logs:

Fatal server error:
XDMCP fatal error: Session failed Session 58048003 failed for display

I'd appreciate any hint how to fix this.
Thanks,

It looks like you know much more about XDMCP than I do, but I have
managed to get XDM working in Woody here on my home LAN at one time a
few months ago... probably serendipitously!
I have found that X in Woody is MUCH more "security aware" than before
and there are several level of blocks to keep you from using XDMCP. You
have covered most of those that I know about. The only other thing I can
suggest is to check any EXTERNAL (to X) firewall (ipchains or iptables)
rulesets between the "client" and the "server" and see if the ports you
are using are being blocked. Also, I have found that ports 5999-6003
have to be "open" between client and server. On normal installs, these
are not blocked, but some add-on firewall rulesets will block these by
default.
BTW, I have experimented with XDM, KDM, and GDM and have finally settled
on GDM here. It is quite easy to setup, and the only downside is
getting the "chooser" function working to my satisfaction..
