xdm

These changes are only required, if your display manager is XDM. If you use GDM or KDM, see the next sections.

Open /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config with your favorite editor.

Look at the last line : "DisplayManager.requestPort: 0"

Comment it out by inserting a ! at the beginning of the line. File: /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config

!DisplayManager.requestPort: 0

Edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess and uncomment the line " '* #any host can get a login window" by removing the single quote. You could also change it to 192.168.0.* for some security
