The server needs to be setup to run xdm for either all hosts
(nothing in Xaccess) or a list of hosts (in Xaccess). The
server side of this is explained in the xdm man page and the
mini-howto Xterminals (section 4). The latter is in
/usr/doc/HOWTO/mini.
Then the linux PC's intened to be the xdm clients just need
to have X configured (there's a HOWTO in /usr/doc/HOWTO that
tells how to do that). This needs to be done as though they
were to run a "local" X session even if they won't. Once
they're configured, just type (as per the man page for
Xserver):
X -query <hostname>
or
X -broadcast
Does anyone know why debian doesn't have a man page for X?
This drove me nuts until I found the Xserver man page.

Let me know if you need more specific details, but please
give the on-line docs a shot first.
Good luck.
