Look at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession.  You can tailor this to
suit your needs.  Add an "xhost +" to just the default startup
if you want to allow a user to specify his own remote accesses
via his/her own .xsession.

Alternatively, you can create your own ${HOME}/.xsession and the
xdm will run your .xsession instead of the default system .xsession.
Then, you/each user can tailor your own .xession to allow remote
connections.
