I've a question about starting X terminals via XDMCP.  Basically, if I start
the X terminal (NCDs) then xdm, not much seems to happen, while starting the
NCDs after xdm is running (or power cycling the NCDs) brings the xdm prompt
up.  Normally, I would believe the correct thing to do is add the X terminals
to xdm's Xservers file, but the R4 docs specifically state that the only
terminals that should be listed there are those that do NOT use XDMCP:

"...Each entry indicates a displays [sic] which should be constantly managed
 and which is not using XDMCP."

Thanks in advance...
