Well, I know I had alot of problems also with getting X to respond to
XDMCP requests and such, so the way I hacked it to work was by avoiding
them altogether.
On my hp, I just run /usr/X11R5/bin/X with no options, then get xdm to
shout out to the hp itself.
In my Xservers file on my linux box I have a line called hp300:0 foreign
and it works just fine. I think I also disabled access control to the
host running xdm. I'm using xdm from my linux box.
So, you might want to see if HP-UX has something similar that may work.
However, if security is an issue you might not like this method.
