[For some reason my original mail didn't make it to the list..]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a minimal FreeBSD system (2.2.6) as an
X-Terminal. I've installed X (it works), but I can't seem to figure
out how to configure it so that it issues an XDMCP request to our
central host (a SCO box) so that the latter will present a login
widget on the FreeBSD box.

The documentation on xdm(1) only seems to deal with managing local and
remote X servers. What I really want is some way to start up X on the
FreeBSD box and somehow get the central host to manage its display.
What are the tools/man-pages/documentation that I have to use to get
this working?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers.
