Hi yall..

I have on my network a Sun IPC running OpenWindows 3.1, as distributed
with Solaris 2.1, but the problem has persisted from 2.0 as well.

I run xdm on the ipc to drive a handful of X terminals (of mixed breeds),
but currently the xdm is set up to spit out a login window to the X server,
rather than the Xserver requesting it via xdmcp.

I have a few programs that support xdmcp requests, but when I run them,
the host (named jupiter, the ipc running xdmcp) does't respond.

Is there some magic twiddle I can make to make the xdm available for 
xdmcp requests?

Tanx loads...  (um, e-mail is best, news is hard to keep up with.  I
will summarize)
