Do you mean that you are running xdm on the supposed-to-be xterm? You
shouldn't do that in your case. The only things you need are:
- xdm with the above config on the computer that is supposed to run the
programs (the server)
- an X server on the computer with the display
So if you want to set up an X treminal, have it run something like
/usr/bin/X11/X -indirect <ip_of_server>
or
/usr/bin/X11/X -query <ip_of_server>
at boot time.
The first line tries to get the chooser from the server, the second
directly opens a connection to the server. Do 'man Xserver' for more
options you might like.
