My understanding was XDMCP uses UDP packets and there for could not be tunneled
through SSH which only allows TCP to be tunneled. If I am wrong I am
definitely interested in using XDMCP instead of running a seperate process to
enable remote logins and would appreciate more info. I know VNC can be used
with SSH but my attempts of using XDMCP and SSH have failed.
