I'm having trouble getting XDM to work from an NCD X Terminal.
I have XDM running on my Linux box (X Server is XInside's Acc. X).
If I run an XDMCP query from the terminal to my machine, I get the login
box successfully.  So I log in, but then instead of starting the window
manager, the terminal dumps back to the screen where you specify the host.
I checked my .xsession-errors file, and this is what I have:

Xlib: connection to "my ip address here:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
xmodmap:  unable to open display 'my ip address here:0.0'

then the same for xsetroot, and fvwm.

It seems like it is trying to connect to the Linux box's Xserver, since it
gives the Linux box's ip address and :0.0  

If this is so, is there a file where I can specify that is should access the
Xserver of the NCD terminal?  I thought an XDMCP query was supposed to take 
care of that process..

Also, if this helps, here is the xdm-errors file in my xdm directory on the
Linux box:

Xaccel 1.2 (build 1201) Accelerated-X Server
[copyright info deleted]

Configuration file: etc/Xaccel.ini
LINUX using /dev/tty8

PCI (#1, 8000000e)
NUMBER9, 1: I-128, TVP3025 (4096k, [0.000 - 220.000MHz])
AUDIT: Mon Dec 11 20:05:49 1995: 591 Xaccel-aout: client 4 rejected from IP
[my IP address here] port 30724

it says this three times for different ports
then
xdm error (pid 598): fatal IO error 2 (borken pipe)
X connection to 0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)

Anybody have any idea what is wrong with my setup?

Thanks
John
