Greetings,
I run Debian "unstable" connected to a dorm network at my school.
Recently, people have started experimenting with Win95-based X servers,
which apparantly broadcast messages across the network looking for
XDMCP servers willing to use their display. I found about this by
reading a school-based newsgroup where someone mentioned getting a XDM
login screen from my machine.
At the very least, I consider this a security problem. I don't want
to have to run x via startx, but I -really- don't want to offer login
screens to everybody on the local net. If that is how xdm is
configured by default, I'll definately file a bug on it.
How can I configure xdm so that it will -only- serve local servers?
Later,
Buddha
