   I had already done that (xdm=3Dyes, that is), but it didn't help.

   It works fine with Mi/X and its local twm manager. Yes, man xdm says
that xdmcp login "can" be disabled by default, and I've almost worn out
man, but can't figure out how to get xdmcp running. Last time (on NetBSD
1.3), it only took flipping a few switches to get it up and running.

   Security is no problem, by the way; it's entirely a local affair. I have
a couple of experiments running, connected to the serial ports of a IIsi
running NetBSD, and I monitor them remotely via cu. Mi/X and twm works
fine, but xdm is a little nicer, I think.
