Sure. The simplest way, is to first uncomment the line in
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xaccess", on the host running "xdm", that says
"any host can get a chooser", and restart "xdm". Then start the
Xserver manually on the designated X server, as ``X -indirect
xdm_host_name &''. Then authorize the "xdm" host to connect, via
``xhost +xdm_host_name''. The chooser window should appear shortly.
