There is no remote access involved. I am PXE booting diskless clients so that users can use xfreerdp to create sessions on and work on an xrdp server. That means when a client boots, it needs to automatically start a local X session in order to run xfreerdp. The idea was to use XDM on the client so a user can log in. Once the user has logged in, XDM needs to start xfreerdp (which creates the problem that the user would have to log in to the server again). I haven't been able to figure out how to make XDM start xfreerdp at all. So I have them log in at the console with their shell set to startx instead.
