I don't care. Last time I tried this it was horribly broken. Worked fine for most things but I had xterms doing indirect xdmcp to the machine. Xdm just forked as fast as it could and the xterms never got a chooser. I presume it is a bug in xdm -nodaemon, but I didn't have time to go find it. This was in October - YMMV. David.
