So far so good.
I don't know if gdm can handle outgoing-xdmcp or not. I haven't tried
yet. I did the above on my Linux box, then when I went to the lab
(Solaris 8 boxes with CDE and dtlogin) I could pick "remote host" from
the dtlogin screen, type in my host (or IP) and it would show up with
my gdm login.

| On asterix, the file /var/log/gdm/obelix.watz.ch\:0.log contains the following:
|
| Xlib: connection to "obelix.watz.ch:0.0" refused by server
| Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
| Xlib: connection to "obelix.watz.ch:0.0" refused by server
| Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
| Xlib: connection to "obelix.watz.ch:0.0" refused by server
| Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
I think here asterix is disallowing obelix from "snooping" on
asterix's display. Maybe kdm or other *dm will work? Sorry I can't
be more helpful.

This is possible too.
