Hi,

In the latest version, xdm uses the display name, replaces the last
colon with '\0', and passes that value as PAM_RHOST, if the display name
doesn't start with a colon.  That looks correct to me.
If the display name starts with a colon (i.e. the X server is local),
then the display name is used to set PAM_TTY.

Is there still a problem with this, or can this bug be closed?

Cheers,
