Log:
Update examples and information in xdm's Xservers file to give sysadmins
more detailed and accurate advice, and to use XFree86 4.x's "-depth"
option in the examples instead of XFree86 3.x's "-bpp" option. Thanks to
Frank Murphy for pointing out how long in the tooth this information had
become. (Closes: #237878)

+XCOMM When adding X servers, please keep the following things in mind:
-+XCOMM - For each X server other than :0, the display number must be on the
command
-+XCOMM line.
-+XCOMM - This is the place to add the -bpp option to the command line.
-+XCOMM - It is wise to add the vtXX option to each local X server, since this
is
-+XCOMM the only sure way of knowing in advance which X server attaches to
which
++XCOMM - If the X server's number is not zero, it must be passed to the X
++XCOMM server's command line as its first argument.
++XCOMM - When using the XFree86 X server, it is wise to add the vtXX
++XCOMM option to each local X server, since this is the only sure way
++XCOMM of knowing in advance which X server attaches to which virtual
+XCOMM console.
-+XCOMM - See the Xserver(1) manpage for a description of X server options.
++XCOMM - SECURITY NOTE: Always pass the "-nolisten tcp" option to the X
++XCOMM server, as shown in the examples below, unless you know you
++XCOMM need the X server listening on a TCP port. Omitting this
++XCOMM option can expose your X server to attacks from remote hosts.
++XCOMM Note also that SSH's X11 port-forwarding option works even with
++XCOMM X servers that do not listen on a TCP port, so you do not need
++XCOMM to remove the "-nolisten tcp" option for SSH's benefit.
++XCOMM - See the Xserver(1) manpage for a description of X server
++XCOMM options. If you are using the XFree86 X server, see the
++XCOMM XFree86(1) manpage for a description of options specific to it
++XCOMM (such as "-depth").
