I rebuilt the kernel w/o IPv6 support (and a bunch of other things I don't need but they seem irrelevant). After rebooting into the kernel the gdm started crashing. "cd /usr/ports/*/gdm ; make deinstall ; make install clean". The last command brings a configuration menu where I disabled the IPv6 support. After building and installing gdm this way the new instance speaks XDMCP as expected. -- Best regards, Daniel
